Heli-skiing in British Columbia

Follow along on a trip to Wiegele's heli-skiing resort in British Columbia...

The night before we arrive we meet an experienced guide in the operation, Ron Betts. One of the most fluid skiers in the world, he has spent some of his Canadian summers instructing skiers at Perisher Blue for the past decade. He is reassuring. Betts says it is a fallacy that heli-skiing is "extreme". That myth, he says, is reserved for James Bond movies. "It is just like catching a lift to the top of any mountain resort in the world," he says, "except here the lift is a helicopter."
