Bella Coola Heli Sports Tweedsmuir Park Lodge

OMG This is definitely the best Halle ski vacation I ever had in my life! I would like to point out each and every one of the staff members! They go over and beyond to do everything in their power to make sure that we have the most wonderful time! There is an excellent espresso machine for all of you Coffee lovers just like me! And such a wide variation of wine and various amazing cocktails and drink drinks! I personally recommend a parole spirits in the hot tub after a good day of snowboarding! I am definitely going to return here with my wife !

I believe it is important for prospective clients of Bella Coola Heli Sports to be aware of some of the individuals involved in the company’s ownership. James Murdoch is a billionaire and the son of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, founder and controlling shareholder of News Corp and Fox Corporation (including Fox News), among other media holdings. James served as Chairman of News International, which owned the UK tabloid News of the World during the high-profile phone-hacking scandal. This scandal involved the illegal interception of voicemails belonging to public figures, politicians, and members of the royal family, and it led to widespread public outrage, arrests, resignations, and a formal public inquiry. The fallout ultimately resulted in the closure of the newspaper and James Murdoch’s resignation. He is a part-owner of Bella Coola Heli Sports, an Independent Director of Tesla since 2017, and a known associate of Elon Musk. Antonio Gracias is also a part-owner of Bella Coola Heli Sports. He is an American entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and close advisor to Elon Musk. He served on Tesla’s Board of Directors until 2021 and is the founder of Valor Equity Partners, a private equity firm that was an early investor in both Tesla and SpaceX. Gracias is frequently described as a key figure in Musk’s inner circle and is likely a billionaire himself. Given the background of these individuals, I believe it is important that anyone considering a heli-skiing trip with Bella Coola Heli Sports is fully informed about the company’s ownership before deciding to support or book with them.

Found several gaps in how they review safety concerns brought to them. My concerns felt disregarded. This is not the kind of company I’d be willing to trust my life with. Heliskiing is very dangerous. They do not require routine drug testing for their guides.

April 2022 - Stayed at Tweedsmuir Lodge, and skied with Bella Coola Heli sports, all I can say is that I am honored to experience this special place! Spectacular views and runs. The guides and pilots were exceptional. Snow was deep and light (once you got to the lower runs was not as light, but that was the end of the run and the pickup zone). I always felt safe while still pushing my boundaries. The staff at the lodge were so nice and fun. Food and drinks were creative and delicious everyday. Had 4 beautiful blue bird days, one day with snow but still flew, and one down day, and took one day off as we were already over our vertical at over 130k. Not cheap, but highly recommend, hope to go again!

Had a spectacular trip to Mystery Mountain Lodge in January 2022. Everything was top notch - the team, the food, the safety, the provided gear. Amazing terrain. There had been no new snow for 7 days and temps varied but the pilot and guides managed to keep finding good snow. Had never done extended lodge heli trip before but this has me saving up for next one!. Thank you Bella Coola Heli Sports!

Really enjoyed the lodge at Tweedsmuir. Staff and food were great. Pilots and guides all very experienced. Only down side was weather the week we were there. We had a unusual warm streak 56 deg F at 8,000 feet in Feb 2016. Everyone made the best of of it and we did get out for some skiing but it was limited to very high elevation. I appreciated the efforts the guides made to find good snow. Would love to return for better snow.

Four of us just did a 5 day trip to Tweedsmuir Lodge in mid February. The guides and pilots went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the best experience possible. We had great skiing (1 weathered in day where we went fishing) and it was nice to know that safety was the highest priority with the everyone there. Beyond that, the lodge is great and the food is as good as you would get at any great restaurant.

Good food, excellent housing and wonderful staff. The short transfer from Vancouver made us choose Bella Cola, nice to land on the air strip and just put your gear on and jump in the Helicopter on the arrival day.
