Bella Coola Heli Sports

Heli skiing with Bella Coola Heli Sport is an awesome way to get your fix of deep powder skiing or snowboarding. Up in Bella Coola, powderhounds don’t just drool over powder or sniff out some fresh powder stashes; powder hounds gobble up powder, one fresh line after another!

Bella Coola Heli Sports can’t guarantee chest deep powder, but they certainly stack the cards in your favour! The heli skiing terrain is perfectly located in a transition zone between a wetter Pacific climate and a dry BC Interior climate. The coastal component contributes to HUGE AMOUNTS of snow, with an average of 20-30 metres (65 to 100 feet) of snow each winter. This is twice as much snow as many of the interior BC heli skiing companies (e.g. Revelstoke heli skiing), so don’t just pack your snorkel, pack your scuba gear! Best of all, the snowpack is generally much more stable than the Interior BC, so experts are more likely to be able to plunge down steep terrain and bag big lines.

BC Heli Sports use small powerful helicopters and have small group heli skiing, which offers many advantages over some other heliskiing Canada companies that have tour bus sized groups. Small helicopters can land in tight spots, so there are more terrain choices, and small groups allow for easier grouping by ability. The Bella Coola Helisports wilderness lodging is also intimate and exclusive.

Bella Coola Heli Skiing Packages

Bella Coola Heli Sports offer multi-day trips of 3, 4, 5 or 7 days duration. During peak season, some packages are for 7 days only. Bella Coola has a range of packages including expert-only trips, and private heli skiing. If you have any questions or want to check availability, you can make a booking request.
Where is Bella Coola Helisports Located? Bella Coola Heli Sports is located in a delightfully isolated utopia, near the town of Bella Coola, in the Coast Range of British Columbia. Bella Coola is a 1:15 hour flight north of Vancouver (a 722km trip via road and ferry). The primary lodge is located only 30 minutes east of the Bella Coola Airport in the eastern end of the Bella Coola Valley within Tweedsmuir Park.

The location equates to much less travel time than for many other Canadian heli skiing companies, and it’s possible to heliski on both your arrival and departure day!

Getting to Bella Coola is super easy because the travel is all looked after by BC Helisports. The flights between Vancouver and Bella Coola are included as part of the package (or to Anahim Lake if you’re on the Pantheon package), as is the transport to the lodge.


View Larger Map

Bella Coola Heliskiing Terrain

The size of the Bella Coola Helisports terrain is absolutely massive, although “massive” might be a massive understatement! The gi-normous terrain is over 10,700 square kilometres (2.64 million acres), making it the biggest Canadian heli skiing tenure. Its size completely dwarfs the big Whistler Blackcomb, which is only 1/325th the size of Bella Coola Helisports.

Many of the runs are leg-burningly delicious, with some long descents of 5,000 to 6,000 vertical feet (1,500 to 1,800 vertical metres). An average day of heli skiing consists of anywhere from 15,000 vertical feet to 30,000 vertical feet of powder skiing.

This vast area has an amazing diversity of dramatic mountain terrain. The alpine terrain is Bella Coola’s specialty with a range of bowls, glaciers and chutes. The tenure also has plenty of tree skiing, which is handy for getting out during stormy weather days. As a minimum, skiers and snowboarders should be of at least strong intermediate ability (ie can confidently ski off-piste blue runs and some black runs).

More Reasons to Heli Ski with Bella Coola Like other Canada heli skiing operators, Bella Coola is a member of HeliCat Canada, which has very comprehensive safety guidelines for minimising risk in the backcountry. BC Helisports has very qualified and experienced guides, and the provision of safety equipment such as airbags to all guests, adds to the emphasis on safety.

Bella Coola Heli Skiing has some other major strong points. It’s quick and easy to get to. The heli skiing and lodging experiences are intimate with only small groups, the terrain is colossal, and the snowpack reduces the likelihood of just skiing ho-hum mellow slopes. This heli skiing isn’t just steep, it’s majorly deep too. Zip up the armpits on your jacket and keep your mouth closed… unless of course you want powder for lunch! Fire up the Contour head cam and make some ski porn!

An Unforgettable Helicopter Skiing Adventure with Bella Coola

Dean Fenwick
03/03/2024
From the moment I set foot in Bella Coola for my helicopter skiing adventure, I knew I was in for an experience of a lifetime. It's not just the breathtaking scenery or the exhilarating ski runs that make this place special – it's the people.

The staff at Bella Coola Helicopter Skiing are truly first class. Every single person I encountered, from the ground crew to the technicians, played a pivotal role in creating an environment that was not only welcoming but also exuded professionalism and a deep commitment to safety.

A special shoutout to the guides – Steve, Pat, and Chelsey. Their expertise and knowledge of the terrain were apparent and took great care planning every morning. It was evident that they had every guest's best interests at heart and effectively managed challenging conditions with safety first and optimized skiing time.

Bella Coola has very experienced pilots. Our pilot, Chad, is amazing! Navigating through the mountains with such skill and precision, he played a crucial role in the whole experience. His proficiency added an extra layer of safety and confidence to our adventure.

An important aspect that all guests should understand about helicopter skiing is the unpredictability of the weather. Guest have a relatively short time here and we all want to ski as much as possible in the most ideal conditions. When weather isn't cooperating, the team at Bella Coola Helicopter Skiing never let this affect their top priority: the safety and well-being of their guests. Their ability to manage expectations and ensure safety in all conditions is highly commendable.

Despite the weather's whims, my experience was nothing short of fantastic. The balance between thrill-seeking and safety, the camaraderie among staff and guests, first class food, and the stunning backdrop of Bella Coola's landscape made this an unforgettable trip.

In conclusion, Bella Coola Helicopter Skiing isn't just a service; it's an experience crafted with care, expertise, and a warm, welcoming spirit. Whether you're a seasoned Heli-skier or a first-timer, you're in excellent hands with this team. I left with memories that will last a lifetime and a deep appreciation for the hard work and dedication of everyone involved.

I Highly recommended Bella Coola Heli Sports for anyone seeking an unparalleled skiing adventure!

I would 100% recommend Bella Coola to anybody looking at Heli Skiing. Service was all around top notch. The guides were very knowledgeable and we all knew we were in good hands. That also includes the pilot. The staff at the lodge were just as good. We were treated like royalty and the food was amazing. Despite having 2 down days due to weather, this was still a very memorable trip for the group. Great job Bella Coola - Pantheon Lodge.

Dream come true

Andy Kaufer
18/01/2024
My dream is to have a ski day just like the photo poster I've had for 50 years I have tried Heli skiing 4 times prior with different companies and never got the goods. My mantra "timing is everything" plays a huge role for the Heli experience. I spent my 68th birthday with Bella Coola, Tweedsmuir Lodge and my dream did finally come through. Huge alpine bowls with endless untracked powpow as far as you could see. The food, accommodations and staff, exceeded my expectations.
I want to go back!

Our guides, Jan and Nic, and our pilot Adrienne, delivered the most incredible terrain I've ever seen (carpets of powder and endless beauty) and kept safety the priority with each decision. The guides were super knowledgeable on skiing (and many other matters including cold plunge breathing and digital penetrometers….the clean kind) and were a huge part of the experience and fun! The staff in the lodge including Emma, Michelle, Courtney, Danik and Ollie were kind, caring and overall wonderful. I would strongly recommend Bella Coola Pantheon Lodge for anyone considering the perfect heliski experience.

Unfortunately I arrived after several days of warm weather and rain all the way to the tops of the mountains. It then turned a bit colder with lots of wind and no snow, so it froze up as solid as a bowling ball with pockets of breakable ice crust. Not great conditions to say the least. The terrain is amazing and given good snow and good skiers in the group it could have been one of the best trips you could hope for. The staff were great. The guides did the best they could with what they had to work with. I am very familiar with the weather along the coast and new I was taking a chance when I decided to join a buddy that had already booked a trip. If I were to do it again I would get on a standby list if they have one, and if you're called, check the conditions before you commit. If you're a working class stiff like myself it's an awful lot of money to just tear up and throw away. If the coast isn't producing the goods check interior BC or Alaska as I have had quite a few epic trips in the past.

Fantastic second trip to Bella Coola

Anders Erden
09/02/2022
My second trip to Bella Coola. This time I went to the Pantheon lodge which is a single helicopter and single group package (private heli). This is a larger group experience (9 guests + 2 guides). Staff (including guest services, guides, masseuse, chef) were all fantastic. The lodge is not as good as others such as Tweedsmuir but still a great lodge and off the grid. The terrain they access is fantastic but note, due to larger group size they can obviously not access everything and it would seem you need to come later in the season (March/April) to access the steeper terrain due to snow pack. Skiing is all about weather and luck but you seem to need less luck with Bella Coola, when there is pow it is amazing and the guides seem to find it.

We felt really grateful to be up there in the stunning mountains and sunshine with really fun, confident, skilled guides and pilots.

Best Heli trip ever!

Scott Newton
18/03/2020
Feb 15 - 22, 2020 at Bella Coola was the most amazing snowboarding week I've ever had! The powder was incredible! This is my 5th trip with Bella Coola Heli-Sports, and all 5 have been sensational, but this year set the bar even higher. The guides are top-notch, the food is 5-star, and everyone on the staff is friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!!

A trip of a lifetime

Stefan Leumann

16 friends, one lodge, exceptional staff and service, great skiing - simply a perfect 10! It's been my 4th time at TPL in Bella Coola but for most of my friends it was the first trip. Now they know why I was always raving about Bella Coola Helisports - your great organization infected them with a virus and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who will return. Once again an awesome experience! Thank you!

Amazing Experience

Ben C
24/02/2020
I live in Whistler full time and ski around 80 days a year on average. This was the best weeks skiing of my entire life! An unbelievably large amount of terrain (over 14000 square km). We bagged 2 first descents on our trip and the service at Terra Nostra Lodge was incredible (who doesn't like a radio in the hot tub to order beers!). The guides (Klemen and Sam) were both immensely experienced and friendly, creating a great group dynamic. Even without much recent snowfall in the previous few days we were finding deep powder stashes every run, every day. The best ski trip of my life - I'll be back!

Outstanding experience. I’ve taken 4 other heli trips (2 in BC and 2 in Alaska) with 3 operators, and Bella Coola was significantly better than the others. All aspects of the operation were outstanding. from the groups of 4, to the guides, lodge, lodge staff, amenities, friendliness, menu, and coordination.

Loved the remoteness

Nick
06/04/2019
I have to say that Bella Coola was amazing! The whole experience is really second to none. You feel like a Celebrity when you get off the plane at Anahim Lake and straight onto the heli to go do a few runs on your way to the lodge, this is a really cool idea and gets you warmed up for your first big day riding. The love and staff were great and the food was really impressive. Tomahawk steak (sat bae style) then rack of lamb, then venison then fresh Bella Coola salmon, the line up of meals was really impressive.
But the best part of the whole experience for me was the remoteness of the lodge and the huge tenure that you can ride in. We had lunch at plumbers hut, right next to the peak of Mt Waddington which was really impressive. Props to Rob the heli pilot for getting us there too, he was great.
All in all, fantastic week skiing, we had 3 amazing bluebird days right at the end which were so so good, I can’t wait to go back!

Top of the World - Hamathko Glacier
Another spectacular view and untracked run
From the staff, the food, linens/beds, lodge, service, location and of course the skiing; nothing was missing. They've thought of it all! With a 10 day dry spell of precipitation, it was remarkable that we were still skiing untouched beautiful spring conditions with blue bird skies. Not just runs were untouched, but whole bowls/ glaciers; all to ourselves. The transition back to the valley floor ranch at the end of each day to check on the horses and newly born calves was a very cool addition to a ski trip. Both Terra Nostra and Mystery Mountain were beyond expectations and the staff, food and accommodations were equally spot on. A truly unique and exceptional week with Bella Coola Heli Sports and I hope to be back soon.

The guides, Steve and Chelsea, were awesome and able to get us the best possible ski experience given the very tricky conditions. Cannot praise them enough. Eagle Lodge has everything you need and nothing that you don't. Laidback and unstuffy with all comforts. Excellent food. Tina, Candice and Chelsea are really the perfect hosts. Best alpine terrain in Canada and all in all good value for the experience. Go there!

Vi hade en fantastisk vecka på Tweedsmuir Park Lodge med superbra atmosfär och personlig service som överträffade våra förväntningar. Fantastisk mat och bra boende. Våra guider var helt suveräna som hittade och anpassade turerna efter vår förmåga. Detta var en upplevelse utöver det vanliga som jag varmt kan rekommendera.

Was great with great guiding, heli flying and housing in Mystery Mountain Lodge ! Great compliment to all the staff !

However, the showers in MML need to be urgently repaired. Unexpectedly very hot or very cold water running, probably depending on water use in kitchen or other bathrooms. Got burned by suddenly running very hot water.

We nailed with the weather and snowpack and had the best week ever! I can honestly we had fresh tracks every run. There is so much terrain that you could never get bored. The guides were very knowledgeable and our pilot was amazing. I was blown away by some of the places that he landed the chopper! That is also one of the benefits of small group (4 pax) small chopper and talented pilot , you get to land in more exciting places!
We stayed at Eagle Lodge and it had a lovely vibe. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, they made you feel right at home and the food was fabulous. 10 out of 10!

Bella Coola is phenomenal. The scale of the terrain is next level and the whole operation is 5 star. We had 6 consecutive days of the best alpine skiing imaginable and were treated like royalty every night at the lodge. This is the wildest part of the BC coastal range and we were constantly in awe of the sheer size of the terrain. There is no "snow farming" by the guides here. When safe from cliff bands or crevasses we were actively encouraged to spread out and "make a mess of it".
This was our bucket list trip but now we are planning how we can get back.

Had a great time and some amazing powder days at Bella Coola Heli-Sports. The guides and staff are top-notch, and they go out of their way to make sure you have a great time. We had knee-deep to waist deep powder. 2 - 4 clients in each heli-group. The food and ambiance of Tweedsmuir Lodge is great. We have already booked again for next year.

I took my group of 8 to Tweedsmuir Lodge this March. I have been heliskiing in British Columbia once or twice a year since 1990 and have skied in most of the exotic locations round the world. We had one of the best alpine skiing days ever and some pretty high class other days at Bella Coola. The terrain is big and steep. The small groups with only 2 per heli made it extremely relaxed. The lodge is in a wonderful location which justifies a visit in its own right.

The only reservation, which did not apply to late season skiing is the relatively few trees for those that like me really enjoy the central BC big tree forests.
