This is what high alpine shredding looks like at Great Canadian Heliskiing

Pretty awesome right?

Here is a little teaser of what spring skiing is like up at Great Canadian Heliskiing. The views are eye popping, the terrain is mind blowing and the vertical looks leg burning! I really like how this video captures just how majestic high alpine skiing can be. It is both thrilling and relaxing. A paradox I know, but a paradox we thirst for all summer long.

Xavier De Le Rue Gets Followed by an Autonomous Drone at CMH Galena

Using the HEXO+ Aerial Drone

This video could be a sign of things to come in sport filming. This edit was shot completely using a drone. Nothing new we know, but this drone was flown without a pilot. That's right, autonomous drone technology has trickled its way into sports photography. Is this a sign of SkyNet and the robot apocalypse? Perhaps. Until then, enjoy this cool filming experience by Xavier De Le Rue at CMH Galena

(NOTE: we know the video says Alaska, it is CMH Galena...trust us)

Apline Ice Hockey with RK Heliskiing

Not sure if it gets much more Canadian than this!

Apline Ice Hockey with RK Heliskiing

RK Heliskiing has done something really cool. They have built an cie rink on an alpine lake at 8300ft! You can sign up for what will be an incredible experience with RK Heliskiing and be part of a mountain high hockey game. If hockey isn't quite your thing, you can book a trip with family and friends to go for an alpine skate, enjoy some lunch and take in all the scenery has to offer.

The price is just $350 per person which isn't too bad considering you get to ride in a helicopter and get some uninterrupted icetime.

Trip Details:

  • Arrive at rk heliski around 9:30am for check in and helicopter safety talk
  • Fly out around 10am – 3pm.  Enjoy 5hrs.  approx. of ice time
  • Packed lunch is provided
  • Bring your own skates and sticks
  • Small gym bag is allowed but keep it small.  We have weight and space restrictions.
  • 2 Sets of goalie equipment allowed
  • After the day you can rehash the game over a few drinks at the heliplex.  (Please no alcohol in the helicopter.)
  • $349+ tax per person.  Minumums apply.

The Rink:

The Shamrock Lake Rink is created on an Alpine Tarn.  Although we try our best to keep the pond surface up to scratch, it may have an uneven surface.  It is our commitment to give you the best experience possible.  We continually clear the rink as well as flood the ice to create a smoother skating surface.

Heli Ski Guide gets Featured on NBC's I Get Paid For This?!

NBC puts the spotlight on RK Heliskiing Guide Graham Holt

 

Here is a cool feature on the life of a heliskiinh guide. CNBC interviews Graham Holt - guide for the past 17 years at RK Heliskiing here in BC. I love Graham's answer to the best part of his job:

"I get to be around happy people every single day," a smiling Holt said.

It's a good like Graham and it sounds like you are enjoying it!

 

February Powder at Mica Heli Skiing

In a season that has been light on powder dumps, it is a relief to see some pow video like this. Shot during the first week of February 2015, this video shows what shredding through 100cms of snow is like up at Mica Heliskiing. They say is was deep but a wee bit wet. But hey, we will take what we can get...especially when it is 100cms at a time!

Enjoy.

Guides Training at Stellar Heliskiing

Jason and the Stellar Team are ready for another epic season!

Guides Training at Stellar Heliskiing

The guides are trained, the heli's are logo'd and the snow has been falling. Stellar Heliskiing is ready for the first guests of the season. Of course, the team had to 'test' out the powder and terrain just to be sure is was as awesome as they remembered!

This season Stellar Heliskiing has partnered up with the Kaslo Hotel to offer multi-day packages. This quaint little establishment sits in the middle of a classic Kootenay town. The welcome is warm and the people of Kaslo are very friendly. After a day finding epic powder lines with Stellar, you can relax and enjoy the hospitality the Kalso Hotel has to offer.
