British Columbia is the world’s premier heliskiing destination. In fact 95% of the world's Heli Skiing and catskiing take place here every year. The reason is obvious to anyone who has already enjoyed the heaps of dry champagne powder that fall here every season. There is no better town to get your fill of powder than Revelstoke, B.C., and no better operator to give it to you than Mica Heli Guides. Many of their exclusive tour dates have already filled up, so make sure to book your vacation now.
If you’re ready to spend the money for that once in a lifetime backcountry heli skiing vacation, then you really want to get your money’s worth. But where should you go and why? Mica has numerous answers to those questions, but consider exclusively small group tours, 72,000 hectares available for you and at most 3 other groups, not to mention their luxurious mountain lodge, which is only accessible by helicopter, to name but a few. Need more? Book a private tour, and you get unlimited vertical every day, two professionally trained and certified guides, and first descents. That's right; Mica's terrain is so vast and varied, offering you the chance to not only have first tracks of the day, but first tracks ever. Put your name in the history books by naming the run as well!
One thing any Heliskiing vacation depends on is the weather. Nothing is more painful than sitting in the lodge, watching all the snow fall, and being unable to enjoy it because the helicopter isn't allowed to fly. Mica has you covered there, with an industry leading average of only 1.5 down days per season. They are able to offer such great service, not because they have crazy helicopter pilots (quite the opposite, all pilots are accident free), but because of their location. Nature has given them a tenure that sees plenty of snow, without a lot of bad weather to get it. On those few days that bad weather does hit, you'll still get all the backcountry goodness you've come for by taking the snow cat skiing out for the day.
