Bella Coola Heli Sports (BCHS) has been voted the World's Best Heli Ski Operation at the World Ski Awards for five consecutive years from 2017 through 2021. BCHS is renowned for, and dedicated to, crafting the ultimate in small group heli-skiing. The company operates in British Columbia’s rugged Coast Mountains, connecting skiers and ’boarders with more than 3.55 million exclusive acres, making it one of the largest heli-skiing areas on the planet.
“More than most businesses, we are impacted by climate change and are acutely aware that this impact is accelerating. Shorter winter seasons and melting glaciers are restricting our ability to run ski programs, while our summer season faces threats from uncontrolled wildfires and extreme rain-induced flooding. Fighting climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions globally is our generation's biggest challenge and we are delighted to include an investment in sustainable aviation fuel alongside our other emission reduction efforts.”
