A little pre-season heli-ski stoke from, er, Revelstoke, British Columbia

The PR people say...
Mountains reign supreme in British Columbia, and in the winter, they're coated in snow.
As a consequence there is terrific skiing and snowboarding resorts throughout the province as well as backcountry skiing opportunities in national and provincial parks.
Whistler Blackcomb is one of the top-rated ski resorts in North America and was the host mountain resort of the 2010 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games but for some of the world's best powder and heli-skiing head to the Kootenay Rockies region.
Both cat-skiing and heli-skiing were pioneered here, and if a Revelstoke Heli Skiing or Revelstoke Cat Skiing adventure isn't on your bucket list, then it should be. With untouched powder fields, classic lines, peaks, glaciers, pillows, alpine bowls, and old growth forests at your ski tips, the rest of the world is far, far away.
One of the local heli-ski operators claims that Revelstoke offers the best skiing on the planet, and that may not be an exaggeration.
A huge amount of Kootenay Rockies terrain that is accessible by helicopter and snowcat, combined with massive winter snowfall, places Revelstoke in a class of its own for heli-skiing and cat-skiing. With tenure over their own vast areas of powder covered slopes, guides are able to share an intimate knowledge of their particular piece of this awesome landscape. Boarders are welcome too.
There are a number of heli-skiing and cat-skiing outfits based in and near Revelstoke (each offering various packages): CMH Heli-Skiing, Mica Heliskiing, Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing, Eagle Pass Heliskiing, K3 Cat Ski, Revelstoke Cat Skiing, and Mustang Powder.
