They won it last year and the year before, could the third time be the charm?

Bella Coola Heli Sports and Tweedsmuir Park Lodge has been nominated again for best heli-ski company at the World Ski Awards to be handed out next month in Kitzbuhel, Austria.

Director of Marketing Tim Wilkinson credits the area they serve as one of the many reasons behind the nomination.

“Our clients come from all over the world and it’s it’s quite a special place,” Wilkinson said. “So where we stand out head and shoulders above our competitors is our Alpine terrain, it’s phenomenal skiing.”

The area they serve in the Coast Range Mountains with exclusive access to over 3.25 million acres of terrain and has been the backdrop in several Hollywood films.

World Ski Awards is the only global initiative to recognize, reward, and recognize excellence in ski tourism. They take place on Nov. 22 to Nov. 24.
