GOLDEN, B.C. — Heli has closed on the purchase of Great Canadian Heli-Skiing and Heather Mountain Lodge. The lodge and ski tenure will continue to operate as the leader in boutique heli-skiing and summer gateway to Canada’s Glacier National Park under new owners Andy Culp and Brock Strasbourger, founders of heli.life.
“We are selling a business full of best days ever,” says Greg and Maaike Porter, owners for the past 23 years. “We have surrounded ourselves with guests, employees, partners, and now new owners that share that vision. We look forward to working with them over the next year as we help with the transition.”
“Very little will change. We have been in this industry for long enough to know that it’s the lodge staff and guides at these operations that make them so special and successful,” says Culp. “We told Maaike and Greg from the beginning that we want the entire team to stay on and we feel very strongly about respecting the legacy of not just Great Canadian Heli-Skiing, but the entire community of operators who we think of as friends and peers.”
