First heli-ski week. The whole Great Canadian HeliSki package was excellent from booking the trip to the end. Skied all types of terrain and even though it had not snowed for 10 days, skied fresh tracks all week. First class guides and the lodge staff were welcoming and professional. Awesome Heli pilots and ground staff. Whole package could not be faulted. Unlimited vertical - we skied over 130,000ft during the week. Nothing to pay at the end. Already planning next years trip - Great Canadian HeliSki must be repeated.
