High season £5000 (at today's exchange rate) plus flight to Vancouver and on to Prince George. Transfer to lodge and everything else except alcohol included and 100,000 verticl feet. Any competent intermediate skier with a sense of adventure and some off piste experience could cope easily. Trip of a lifetime - keep doing the lottery!!

skilegs, what type of terrain were you on and what was the ability like across your group?

Took my son for his 50th and it was his first time heliskiing. The ability across the group was advanced/strong intermediate plus 3 boarders who were all first timers but quickly got the hang of it. We skied the open alpine terrain and also the trees when it was snowing and the visibility was not good. Wide skis are provided which make all the difference.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

I too am just back from a week spent with these guys. Without a doubt the best skiing of my life. Absolutely unreal! Mythical type skiing. Face-shot after face-shot after face-shot. I can't recommend this company enough. The lodge is perfect, the people wonderful, the skiing... well, as I say, mythical.

mountainaddict, I've heard good things about that company. Also heard great things about White Grizzly and I believe they are 700 dollars per day, all season.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

shenryo: I'll have a look at White Grizzly - haven't come across them before.
Dabber: Another possibility is town-based catskiing day trips, which are around $450 a day. We've done so at Fernie Wilderness Adventures. We originally booked one day but it was so fantastic that we re-booked for the next day too. Fantastic skiing and excellent, friendly guides.
Fellow Snowhead Bergmeister has also done town-based (longer) trips with K3 Catskiing - which he has also recommended highly.

shenryo: To post directly to Snowheads, you first need to save your photos in the Snowmediazone, here:
http://snowmediazone.com/the_zone/index.php
You then need to:
- Register.
- Log in.
- Click on 'Upload photos' and follow the instructions - (NB. You can upload up to 5 photos at a time, IIRC?)
After uploading:
- Click on the photo you want to show on Snowheads main site.
- Cut and paste the code that comes up next to photo (I use the 'medium' image) into the normal 'Post a reply' box (or new topic) on Snowheads.
It can seem a bit of a faff at first - but you soon get into the swing.
