winter vacation Heliskiing in BC is an exciting sport in an incredibly beautiful place that allows daring, experienced skiers and snowboarders to experience challenging — but safe — ski slopes with fresh, deep powder snow.

Bella Coola Valley is part of the ancestral lands of the Nuxalk indigenous people. They proudly maintain a strong presence as the largest cultural group of residents in the valley and share their culture with the visitors to this lovely area. Skiing, tourism, fishing and ski movies are the primary businesses of this area. The Incredible Hulk (in a 2008 movie) escaped to Bella Coola as Bruce Banner to enjoy the tranquil setting.

Warm, moist air blowing ashore provides a constant supply of powder snow on a stable snow pack. The expert guides always know the best places for heliskiing and snowboarding with stable snow, often providing chest deep powder snow. If you are used to skiing the well-packed snow of most commercial ski slopes, you will not believe the thrill of skiing through fresh powder snow. The first time you walk through powder snow is surreal. Powder snow is like fine eider down, it just flows out of your way.

The average snow base in the skiing area around Bella Coola runs 20 to 30 feet with terrain ranging from a wetter costal area to a drier inland area. The result is good snow that is available during most weather conditions, even during the summer when good fishing conditions are available in the valley.
