Heli
Skiing Canada Over 40 years of commercial helicopter
skiing development has produced an industry
in Canada that provides nearly 90 percent
of the world's available heli skiing. It's
a sure bet that heli skiing Canada has
given thousands of skiers and snowboarders
an introduction to this great sport. The
majority of the Canadian heliski operators
are located in British Columbia , as well
as similarly remote mountain locations
in Alberta and the Yukon Territory . Pioneering
organizations like Mike Wiegele, TLH, Selkirk
Tangiers and Canadian Mountain Holidays
(CMH) have shown the skiing public the
enjoyment of accessing fresh powder slopes
via helicopters. The success of these operators
and the passion they have instilled in
skiers and now snowboarders from all over
the world has spawned helicopter ski operations
in Chile, Argentina, New Zealand, India,
Russia, Greenland, Italy, and most notably
in Alaska.
Heliskiing Canada Leads to Alaska
The desire for more challenging and exotic
locations has sparked a new breed of heliskier
seeking bigger slopes and steeper terrain.
Starting from a small gathering of the world's
best big mountain freeskiers in the early
1990s, the World Extreme Skiing Competition
and later with the King of the Hill World
Snowboarding Championship, Valdez , Alaska
quickly became the focal point for these
new heli-ski pioneers. At the news of the
first successful events held in the Chugach
Mountains surrounding Valdez , more and more
of these new heliskiing adventurers began
to seek out the slopes. Today Valdez
Heli-Camps regularly takes
these new ski adventurers to test their skills
on mountains previously reserved only for
the skiing and snowboarding elite.
Located in Valdez , Alaska , at the epicenter
of this world-famous skiing area, Valdez
Heli-Camps is the premier choice for heli-skiing
in Alaska .
Valdez Heli-Camps offers a variety of
ski packages to both introduce the uninitiated
and challenge the most experienced. However,
it is not just superior heliskiing that

in their tracks. Enjoy a soak in the pool
