Last Photo of the 2012-2013 season from Heliskiing Canada film trips
As the season comes to a close… The last trip has been completed and the final photo has been taken.
This photo taken at Mike Wiegele Heliskiing in Blue River and was featured on Go Pro and could not really have been a better way to end our season.
It just ends our season on such a high note of stoke.
Thanks to everyone for making this amazing winter happen!
Mike Wiegele Heliskiing / Blue River B.C.
Located in Northern B.C. in a town called Blue River is a world renowned Heliskiing destination affectionately known as “Wiegele World”. This is no ordinary place as its named after its owner Mike Wiegele who is respected for his countless contributions to Heliskiing/ Skiing / Avalanche forecasting /Ski Safety and exceptional customer service. Now that is no small undertaking. Having the opportunity to meet the staff and guests at his operation and then to have some one on one time with Mr. Wiegele it became very apparent how he has built a amazing reputation and powder empire of excellence.
His love for the mountains and guest safety and experience transcends his entire operation and you really feel like there is some deep history and success due to his passion.
Spacious Cabin
The digs were pretty down right sweet. This place knows how to cater for sure… every detail you can think of has been carefully taken care of to make your visit exceptional.
Likely the biggest Pro Shop I have seen in Heliskiing.
The first day we got into some terrain deep in the southern Monashee’s part of their tenure.. and then the second day we were in some classic lines as our guides called it on the second day.
For lunch we got to hang at their mountain side mini lodge for fresh sandwich’s and soup. The view (even of the outhouse) was stunning as you walked around the balcony getting a clear image of the possibilities that surround you.
The trip was a great way to end the season. With the last photo of the season (just after this one) being featured on GoPro it just could not have been a better ending to a season! Thanks so much goes out to the Staff, my guides Bob and Jordan and Jeff for hosting me.
And Mike, for taking the time to get to know me and share this great place with me and the rest of the word!

Working with Snowboard Magazine on this film /photo shoot at RK Heliskiing was a highlight of my Heliskiing Season.
This past winter has been an amazing experience riding with so many talented people. This trip was a bit crazy because it came together so quickly and I really didn’t know any of the crew accept for Nate. (and to be honest I googled them afterward and it really sunk in that I had no idea what I was in for)
So stoked and privileged to have met and spent such a good time working with Willie, Jeff, Nate, Johan and the entertaining Andrew.
What a trip.. what a season.
Blue Bird in Blue River / Mike Wiegele Heliskiing
Day 1 of filming and it was perfect light to get a look at some of the unreal terrain at Mike Wiegele Heliskiing. We headed to the southern Monashee range in their tenure and in every direction was long glacier dream drops.
Jeff Silcock who heads up their marketing and my host..told me it was big. The brochure said it had some serious terrain. But you gotta see it to really get a grasp at how much massive alpine terrain they have that is skiable.
Thanks Mike for sharing these mountains with the world!

Deep pow turns at Northern Escape Heliskiing / Photo: Aaron Whitfield
Northern B.C is an an amazing area for powder due to its large Coastal Mountains capturing and dropping snow that soooo fluffy and deep.
Getting a spot at Northern Escape Heliskiing is not easy unless you book now for next season. I am amazed how this little gem is so easy to access and I guess alot of other skiers know that too.
The closest far away heliskiing destination I have been to yet. Score!
