Just rounded up the first of 6 weeks guiding at Bell 2 Lodge with Last Frontier Heliskiing. Despite some challenging weather we skied awesome snow 7 out of 7 days with big smiles all round. Big thanks to the Gibous, Dmitry and Cedric for a memorable week!

Here are a few: images courtesy of Cedric Bernardini.

This is not your regular Canadian heli-skiing. This is big wild northern British Columbia and compared to southern BC with all of its heli-ski operations sandwiched together; it’s like a different country.
