Bella Coola Heli Sports

Bella Coola Heli Sports Small Group & Private Heli Skiing in Bella Coola, British Columbia. Five Time Winner of World’s Best Heli Ski Operator. Certified Climate Positive.

Information in German below! Voted as the World's Best Heli Ski Operation at the 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017 World Ski Awards. World's largest ski area @ 3.55 MILLION acres! World's 1st Climate Positive heliski operation (we offset more C02 than we emit)! Outside Magazine’s "Top 10 Heli-Ski Destinations in North America" article included Bella Coola Heli Sports. This is what they had to say:

“Bell

a Coola – The best place to make your own ski porn! Countless ski movies have been shot with Bella Coola Heli Sports of western British Columbia thanks to a more stable snowpack that sets up on steep faces, allowing pros like Hugo Harrison to bag big lines that, in more unstable conditions, would scare most other heli-outfits into liability rants. And don’t be fooled into thinking you’ll be battling heavy wet snow. Bella Coola’s permit stretches across 3.55 million acres of the Coast Range, which sucks moisture from the snow as storms pass over the peaks. That means you can ski drier fluff on more mellow terrain in the east while waiting for the big stuff in the west to set up. And with just 54 guests heli-skiing this area each week, you’ll never hear guides saying you have to farm the slope and set your lines right next to theirs. The lines can run 6,000-vertical-feet and with 100 feet of annual snowfall, they can be skied well into April. Sign up for the new weeklong Big Mountain Challenge and fire up the Go Pro: After some warm up runs you’ll jump onto a "proper objective", which may include some ski mountaineering skills like rappelling into a couloir.”

While Bella Coola offers Expert Only programs, we also cater to 1st timers and less aggressive skiers (you should be a strong intermediate i.e. can ski blue runs with confidence and some black runs) who enjoy the HUGE alpine bowls.

• Exclusively Small Group Heli-Skiing – just 4 to 5 guest per group with a highly experienced guide
• Best Helicopters for Heli-Skiing – the A-Star, with only 2 to 3 groups sharing 1 machine
• World's Largest Ski Area – at 3.55 million acres. All for a maximum of 54 guests spread over 5 lodges!
• Ski First Descents – due to the enormous size of Bella Coola’s terrain, guests can still bag first descents, especially at Pantheon and Mystery Mountain lodges. This is extremely rare in Canadian heliskiing.
• Best Variety of Programs;
- Regular heli-skiing program – 3,4,5,6 or more days of the best heli-skiing on the planet
- Experts Only – the Classic XL is for experts only...and we mean experts!
- Heli-Assist Ski Touring – Ski touring with a little bit of help from the heli! Every day you can ski in a different geographic area. One day it can be by the fjords, the next near the ice cap and the big glaciers, then in the Big Snow Zone or some nice tree runs.
- Rod & Ski Club – Bella Coola Heli Sports is located in some of the best salmon and trout fishing rivers in the world. In the spring and early summer, guests can book a trip where they heliski beautiful corn snow (and sometimes powder) in the morning, then after lunch they swap skis for fishing rods and waders in hope of catching a 50lbs spring salmon!
- Private Heli-Skiing & Exclusive Lodge Use – Chose Bella Coola’s Pantheon Heli-Skiing base for your private group of up to 8 friends/family. You will have exclusive use of the helicopter and the whole lodge, with no other groups, just yours!
• Best Arrival/Departure Procedure – It’s possible to fly into Bella Coola Airport where staff meet you, then you heliski your way to the Lodge! Then on departure day, you heliski to the airport, landing right next to the airplane taking you back to Vancouver. What a rockstar start and finish!
• Huge Snowfalls – Bella Coola receives between 65-100ft (20-30m) on average over the winter!
• Huge Diversity in Terrain - Glaciers, open bowls, gladed trees, hugh rock spires…
• Huge Vertical & Long Descents - Many runs are 5000 to 6000 vertical feet (1500 to 1800 vertical metres), with the longest yielding 7000 vertical feet (2150 vertical meters) of leg-burning utopia
• Flexible Itineraries – trip durations can be for 3, 4, 5, 6 days or more
• 3 Gourmet Meals per Day – Including continental and cooked breakfasts, packed lunch in the field, hors d'œuvre après ski snacks, +3 course dinner
• Safety – free use of personal safety gear including transceiver, SnowPulse Airbag Pack & Probe
• Free Rental Equipment - Skis and snowboards designed for deep powder, big mountain riding!
• Weather Day Activities – With the huge snowfalls there’s occasional weather days. Activities include fly-fishing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing etc

Outside Magazine Artikel Top 10 Heli-Ski Destinations in North America schrieb folgendes über Bella Cola HeliSkiing:

“Bella Coola – The best place to make your own ski porn! Unzählige Skifilme wurden mit Bella Colla Heli Sports in Britisch Columbien in West Canada gedreht dies nicht zuletzt wegen des stabilen Schneeaufbaus an steilen Hängen die gerade für professionelle Fahrer wie Hugo Harrison die beste Möglichkeit bieten um diese zu befahren. Anderswo wäre die Gefahr derart gross, dass viele Heliunternehmen aus Angst vor Haftansprüchen dies nicht zulassen würden. Fürchten Sie jetzt nicht in klebrigen schwerem Schnee herumfahren zu müssen. Bella Collas’s Lizenz erstreck sich über 13’150 Quadratkilometer kanadischer Küstenlandschaft. Nur gerade 54 Gäste befahren dieses Gebiet pro Woche, da werden Sie niemals Anweisung bekommen schön nahe beisammen zu fahren und mögliches wenig zu verspuren. Mit bis zu 2000 Höhenmeter und 30m Neuschnee hat es immer genügend Neuschnee bis in den April. Für die ganz Abenteuerlichen und Anspruchsvollen im Bezug auf das Gelände bietet sich das 7 Tage Big Mountain Challenge Programm an. Nach ein paar Abfahren um sich warm zu laufen geht es ran an die richtig steilen Abfahrten. Da kann es schon mitunter anspruchsvoll werden z.B. mit dem Abseilen in ein Couloir. Bella Colla offeriert ein Programm für Experten aber genau so Programme für Neulinge und nicht so aggressive Fahrer. (Sie sollten sich auf roten Pisten wohlfühlen und auch die eine oder andere schwarze Piste bewältigen können)

• Exklusives HeliSkiing in kleinen Gruppen – lediglich 4 Gäste pro Gruppe und einem sehr erfahrenen Führer.
• Beste Helis fürs Heliskiing – der A-Star, mit nur 2 bis 3 Gruppen pro Maschine
• 2. grosses Heligebiete – mit 13'150 km2, 325 mal so grosse wie das gesamte Gebiet von Whistler Canada BC, 90 mal grösser als Trois Vallées and sogar grosser als die gesamten Schweizer Alpen. Alles exklusive für unsere maximal 54 Gäste verteilt auf 5 Unterkünfte.
• Erstbefahrung – aufgrund des enorm grossen Bella Coola Gebietes sind gar Erstbefahrungen möglich, dies vorwiegend ausgehend von unserer Pantheon Basis – etwas ganz seltenes im Kanadischen Heliskiing
• Gröste Auswahl unterschiedlicher Programme
o Reguläres HeliSkiing Program – 3,4,5,6 oder mehr Tage vom feinsten HeliSkiing der Welt
o Nur für Experten – die “Classic XL” ist ausschliesslich für die Experten im Tiefschnee… und sie meinen Experten. o Skitouren mit Heli Unterstützung – Skitouren mit ein bisschen Hilfe vom Heli. Sie können jeden Tag ein anderes geographische Gebiet befahren. Einmal können es die Fjords sein, am nächsten Tag nahe den grossen Gletschern, dann wiederum in der grossen Schneezone oder auch genüssliche Waldabfahrten. Bella Coola Heli Sports plant auch individuelle Touren bei der Sie den Tag an einem ganz anderen Ort beenden und der Heli bei der Überbrückung von Traversen hilft. All dies ist nicht möglich wenn Sie in einer normalen Berghütte übernachten und immer wieder dort hin zurückkehren müssen. Jeden Morgen setzt Sie der Heli weit oben ab wo Sie den Tag mit einer traumhaften Abfahrt starten am Abend sind sie dann wieder in der wunderschönen Unterkunft, geniessen ein 3 Gang Menü, natürlich fehlt auch die grossen Auswahl an köstlichen Weinen nicht. Individueller Service inklusive. Coole Sache oder? o Rod & Ski Club – Bella Coola Heli Sport liegt nahe einiger der weltweit besten Flüsse für Lachs-und Forellen Fang. Im Frühling und Frühsommer können unsere Gäste eine aussergewöhnliche Reise buchen. Firn Schnee (manchmal auch Pulverschnee) am Morgen, dann nach dem Mittagessen tauschen sie die Skier mit der Angelrute und Watstiefel dies in der Hoffnung auf den 20kg oder noch grösseren Frühlings Lachs. o Privates HeliSkiing & Exclusive Unterkunft – Wählen sie Bella Coolas’s Pantheon HeliSkiing für Ihre private Gruppe mit bis zu 8 Freunden oder Familienmitgliedern. Der Heli sowie die gesamte Unterkunft steht Ihnen exklusive zur Verfügung, keine andere Gruppe einfach 100% privat.
• Einfachste An-und Abreise: Fliegen sie zum Bella Coola Flughafen wo unsere Mitarbeiter Sie bereits erwarten. Dann gleich mit dem Heli zur Unterkunft am selben Tag! Am Abreisetag wieder mit dem Heli zum Flughafen mit Landung gleich neben dem Flugzeug das Sie wieder nach Vancouver bringt. Ein fantastische Erlebnis, da fühlt man sich doch gleich wie ein Rockstar.
• Flug nach Bella Coola im Preis inklusive!! Unsere Preise enthalten den Flug vom Vancouver Süd Terminal nach Bella Coola (oder Anahim Lake für das Pantheon Programm). Wir buchen die Flüge für Sie.
• Grosse Schneefälle- 20-30m Neuschnee – ein durchschnittlicher Winter in Bella Coola
• Gelände aller Art – Gletscher, offene Mulden, Waldskifahren und riesige Steinformationen
• Viele Höhenmeter & lange Abfahren – unsere Abfahren bieten oft 1500 bis 1800 Höhenmeter, die längest sogar 2150 Höhenmeter – brennende Oberschenkel inkl.
• Flexible buchbar – Reiselänge von 3, 4, 5, 6 oder mehr Tagen möglich
