Take the snowiest mountains in Canada, an army of adrenaline-addicted skiers, and throw a helicopter into the mix for an unforgettable story of mountain adventure and the invention of an entire industry. The idea is simple: helicopter up to the top of the mountain, then ski back down. The reality is more complex, from avoiding massive avalanches, to flying through blinding snowstorms, to guiding skiers safely across crevasse-riddled glaciers.
