Another core BC heli-ski operator has committed to a Tracker2 fleet for next season: Great Canadian Heli-Skiing, based at the Heather Mountain Lodge outside Golden, BC. Great Canadian specializes in guiding small groups of four skiers each, using light, powerful A-Star helicopters, similar to those used at most AK operations. Here’s a sampling of their goods, featuring Dan and Dave Treadway (Dan’s a big friend of BCA: his life was saved with a Tracker a few years ago):

The nice thing about heli-skiing in small groups like this is that you can ski with your friends–and not risk riding with strangers that might be outta shape, slow, or hungover (or vice-versa, making everybody else wait for you!). With big Bell 212′s carrying 12 riders each, you’ll make compromises in terrain and vertical to accommodate the wide range of abilities in your group. But not in an A-Star packed with your best buds! Great Canadian’s got it going on. Check them out at http://www.canadianheli-skiing.com . Yum, those scallops look tasty!
