Do you think the season pass of your favorite ski resort is expensive? How about paying $80,000 for a single heli-ski season pass? If you happen to have money to burn, this ski pass could be yours. The new Platinum Heli-Skiing Season Pass from Great Canadian Heli-Skiing (GCH) in British Columbia offers unlimited vertical access to nearly unlimited powder skiing for a price. They do bring the customers to some great backcountry but this pass is preeetty expensive.
GCH is located halfway between Golden and Revelstoke, BC in the heart of the world’s most renowned heli-skiing belt. People say this is an incredible heli-skiing terrain, and sure I believe it. Holder of this ultimate heli-ski pass is guaranteed a seat on A-Star B2 helicopter every day between December 26 to March 28, overriding all other bookings. Now that’s something I call service!
GCH operates from the ruggedly beautiful Heather Mountain Lodge in the heart of the Purcell and Selkirk ranges in the Columbia Mountains, part of the North American Rockies. $80,000 is much, but the holder is also provided a personal concierge whose duty is to provide his customer optimum heli-ski experience including weather forecasts and some other services.
Just couple of days ago I discussed with Mattias Cöster who runs a heliski company in Sweden. I asked about his prices because we are planning a heli-ski trip in Sweden, and I must say this time his offer sounds better for my wallet..

Doesn’t sound too bad, but Too bad it looks like it’s sold out!
Oh boy, I really didn’t expect it sell out. Now, that’s interesting!
That’s pretty sweet, but probably not a great deal in my opinion. Considering the weather challenges of flying, I think 80 days of skiing would be the max to expect, probably more like 30 days, so these heli trips are probably still similar to the going rate. I think if these were flights with just you and your boys, then its a good deal. If they are just sticking you in with a group of 12 people like usual, then probably not a great deal.
