There are many different ways to enjoy the backcountry of British Columbia, but none are as exciting as an aereal adventure. Helicopter and snow cat skiing can be found throughout B.C. during any season, as 95% of the world's heliskiing and catskiing take place here every year. As for which is the best way to access the backcountry, the helicopter offers many advantages. The best helicopter operation here in Revelstoke B.C., if not the entire province, is Mica Heli Guides.

  There are two main reasons that a helicopter tour is so great. First, there is the speed. Helicopters are fast, which means you won't be waiting to reach different terrain and the like. Secondly, in part due to the speed, helicopters offer a much more varied and large terrain for skiing in the great backcountry of British Columbia. With Mica, that great backcountry extends across more than 177,000 acres of pristine wilderness. This means they can offer every type of terrain, from trees to steep chutes, making Mica guaranteed to have something for everyone. Heliskiing Canada

 or those that worry that heliskiing is only for super fit snow sports enthusiasts, think again. With the exceptionally well trained and certified guides that Mica has to offer, they'll make you feel right at home. Speaking of home, the other great reason to choose Mica Heli Guides, is their lodge in the backcountry, which is only accessible itself by helicopter. Enjoy all the amenities of home, but located out in the serene environs of the Canadian Rockies. Finally one thing anyone that wants to go backcountry in the helicopter needs to plan and think out is inclement weather. Perfectly great vacations are easily ruined by an ill timed storm, but with Mica you don't have to worry. Their unique terrain has allowed them to boast an incredibly low 1.5 down days per season.
