Step 2: Connect & Check Availability
Get in touch with our team at [email protected] or call +1 (604) 905-4994 and we’ll answer any questions, review available dates and packages, and help you make important decisions about your trip.
Step 3: Confirm With Your Group
If your preferred dates are available, we’ll hold your spots for 72 hours while you connect with your group. This gives you time to coordinate schedules and ensure everyone is on board for the adventure of a lifetime.
Step 4: Tackle The Paperwork
Fill out our Digital Waiver and Guest Booking Forms we’ll send you via email. It may not be the most exciting part, but it’s important for a smooth and personalized experience.
Step 5: Secure Your Spot
Ready to turn your dream into reality? Submit your first payment via FlyWire, our secure online payment platform. This confirms your reservation and brings you one step closer to the mountains.
Important note: We’re as committed to your trip as you are. Once your booking is made, we begin making arrangements specifically for your adventure. As a result, this payment is non-refundable.
Step 6: Reservation Confirmation
A milestone worth celebrating! Once we receive your initial payment, your adventure is locked in. Expect a confirmation email shortly after your payment is processed.
Step 7: Safeguard Your Adventure
We strongly recommend purchasing cancellation and evacuation insurance from Acera Insurance for your peace of mind. While we hope you won’t need it, this insurance can be invaluable in unforeseen circumstances.
Step 8: Prepare For Entry in Canada
If you’re traveling internationally, familiarize yourself with Canadian entry requirements on the Government of Canada website. Don’t forget that non-Canadians/US citizens will need to apply for a Canadian Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).
Step 9: Book Flights to Vancouver
Now for an exciting step: booking your travel to Vancouver. Please keep in mind that arriving in Vancouver in time for your connecting flight to Bella Coola/Anahim Lake is in your hands. Bella Coola Heli Sports is not responsible for missed flights due to international flight delays, missed connections, or any other reason.
We recommend arriving in Vancouver at least one day before your heli-skiing trip kicks off. This gives you a buffer in case of flight delays or unexpected weather. Plus, it’s a great chance to adjust to the time change and explore the city before hitting the slopes.
Step 10: Book Vancouver Accommodations
Secure your Vancouver lodging for the night before and after your trip. We recommend staying at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel in the Main Terminal at Vancouver International Airport (YVR). As our guest, you’ll enjoy exclusive savings on your stay.
Step 11: The Final Countdown (And Payment)
Your second payment installment is due 90 days before your trip start date. We’ll give you a friendly reminder when the time comes. For those booking within 90 days, full payment is required upfront to secure your spot.
Step 12: Safety Briefing
Complete our online safety briefing—essential prep for your mountain experience. Don’t worry, you’ll receive hands-on training when you arrive, but this online prep will give you a head start.
Step 13: Prep For Powder
It’s time to get ready for peak performance on the mountains. We suggest SkierFit, an eight-week at-home workout program designed and created for skiers and riders by pro skier John Collinson. Your quads will thank you when you’re knee-deep in powder.
Prepare For Your Trip
Ready, set, snow—powder prep starts now. From suitcase strategy to quad-burning conditioning, get primed to make the most of every mountain moment.
