4. Heli-Skiing – Revelstoke, Canada
As the name implies, heli-skiing (or heli-boarding) is the practice of taking a helicopter ride to remote areas with fresh snow and enjoying winter sports in previously untouched areas. People have used helicopters to access difficult terrain since the 50s, but heli-skiing only became commercially available in 1965.
Heli-skiers need to be experienced as the mountains can be steep and they face hazards, such as avalanches and tree wells. The mountains around Revelstoke offer the ideal backdrop for heli-skiing due to heavy snowfall in the area.
