What you just pictured is the reality of the top heli-skiing British Columbia offers the world!
Heli skiing involves skiers boarding a helicopter which carries them to a landing zone high on the Rocky Mountains. Originating in Canada in the mid-1960s, heli skiing was invented by a man named Hans Gmoser who began transporting adventurous skiers to the remote peaks of BC’s mountains. With amazing views, powder, and vertical, heli skiing soon caught on and the sport positively exploded. Known for its unique and exclusive experience, heli skiing has become the holiday of choice for thrill-seeking skiers. And because of the natural beauty that is the Canadian Rockies,high concentrations of these adventurers choose British Columbia.
