“Dear Hayley,
Just a note to thank you (Total Heliski) for the greatest ski trip ever!! Skiing untracked powder all day, every day with a helicopter as your transportation mode is truly unequaled. In all my years, there is still no other activity that puts as big a smile on my face as this… I would urge all skiers who have the means to do so-not to pass up the opportunity of a lifetime.


I would not hesitate to recommend Total Heliski to all those interested in the best ski experience possible. ”

“5 straight days of sun with solid powder — that sums it up for me! Also really liked the guides, other staff, and the lodge.”

“Hi Hayley, Just got back from Whistler. We had a great time at Bella Coola, 1 1/2 down days which is always frustrating but one bright sunny day with about 1 metre of fresh powder. Doesn’t get much better than that! We did 13 runs and around 30,000 ft vertical that day and could of done a bit more if my brother hadn’t been so knackered!

The guides were great and the groups small (4 or 5) the whole outfit was really friendly and welcoming. We stayed at the Bella Coola Mountain Lodge which is less posh than Tweedsmuir but we enjoyed it. Great host, great food and a really relaxing atmosphere.

We would certainly go back there. Certainly felt less corporate than Revelstoke and better skiing. All in all a really good trip. Thanks.”

“The safety element was incredibly thorough and even though there are certain risks involved with heliskiing, I had total confidence that Snowwater and Total Heliski had taken every care possible.

The food was beyond my wildest dreams (and I’m a cookery writer!). The weather wasn’t great but the snowcat backup ensured we spent as much time skiing as possible. Even though Snowwater caters for expert skiers, those who are not as strong are also well looked after. We arrived home to find that Katie had a job offer after she leaves Uni this year. Her main aim is to earn lots of money so that she can go back to Snowwater as soon as possible.

Thanks to Total Heliski and Snowwater for a FAB holiday which I will remember for life.”

“Our expectations were high but this blew them away. I have never experienced anything that comes close to it. It was a genuinely mind blowing holiday!”

“We had a simply lovely time in all aspects! Great job matching us to the right heli ski operation. Cozy and intimate with a wonderful staff and management. Massage therapist was one of the best ever we experienced through out our travels.”

“Hey Hayley,

Super amazing – I’ve skied 125K feet in 5 days… about 20 of this was cat, but I had 2 30K plus days in sick snow. I will post to the group. Great place. Thanks for steering me this way.”

“Hi Hayley,

We spent two awesome days with Eagle Pass’ guys!
Good weather, a lot of powder and kind and professional guides.
Thank you for your useful advice!”

“We went for a late season weekend to Courmayeur, in order to explore the terrain for an eventual mid winter trip, and of course to enjoy the spring snow and sun. We had planned to do one day of heliski and one day of resort skiing, and the weather cooperated well so we could do the heliski part on Saturday.

The landscape was absolutely phenomenal. The local operator as well as the mountain guide were very professional. The booking procedure thru total heliski was straight forward and easy.

As a surprise we were spoilt with a lunch composed of the best local specialties and wine before we reached the bottom of the last run. (skiing in the afternoon is not possible because of the increasing avalanche risk in spring). May be if done in a more “Canadian” style one more run could have been possible before the avalanche risk became too high.

We are off to Canada next year to one of Total Heliski’s operators in northern B.C.”

“There was nothing I did not like. The day could have been longer but I think there is nothing they can do about that… It depends what trip you choose to do but I think you need to ski well to enjoy it to full. The powder snow was awesome and the trip in general was the trip of a life time.”

“Awesome trip, fantastic location and great slopes, easily did 10k vertical per day. Guide and pilot total pro’s, would unreservedly recommend! Thanks for organising a great trip, 30k over 45 drops. Go for 50k on next one please!”

“A heli trip was something I have always dreamed about, and thanks to Hayley and Total Heliski, I found the perfect trip at a great price. Snowwater exceeded my expectations in every way. The terrain was challenging, the snow deep, the guides were awesome, the food impeccable, and the staff… perfect!

The whole experience was phenomenal, and it’s a trip I will remember for the rest of my life. I really appreciated the help in finding the right trip, and Hayley’s expertise was perfect. Thanks Hayley for making this epic trip a reality!!”

“I am an experienced, aggressive skier who can enjoy the steeps and deeps and also slow down and enjoy some gradual slopes. I booked a 7 day tour to Alaska with 100,000 vertical feet guarantee for a week in March, since my son was on college break.

We had snow cat backup for the days when the weather didn’t allow the machines to fly. Apart from wanting to ski earlier on days the skies are clear for flying, the trip was outstanding. 5 out of a possible 5 stars, can’t wait for our next trip with Total Heliski this year to Canada.”
