    Heli/cat recommendations, please

    I am trying to find a reasonably priced heli service (oxymoron) in BC or AK for four people (bachelor party for good buddy). Looking at three days of skiing for four people - two skiers and two boarders.

    Also, considering a 3-5 day cat trip instead. Seems like we could get more vert in cat for less money.

    Welcome any suggestions or any advice. Thanks!

    Tons of amazing spots in BC. We had an amazing experience at Baldface. Nelson a cool place to chill for a day or 2 as well. Jeff P and crew are good shit.

    Oh, and go cat skiing. Heli's are for Seth and the pro's who can wait days for weather on someone elses dime or rich punters that cant ski for shit.

    It's cheaper, but you won't get more vert unless you get weather? Tons of good operations.
    Heli is much more memorable.

    Obviously you've never gone.

    Good call, but get a private on a day the hill is closed.

    I've only hit one trip cat skiing; Monashee. Terrific value, tons of sick terrain, killer guides and the food was really good. I highly recommend them. The pick-up is between Vernon-Lumby.
