I sled in BC, and I've done a fair bit of sled access skiing, so I enjoy both sports. The problem with Heli-Skiers is their culture of entitlement dating back to the late 60's. They actually think they own the mountains. It is 100% public land and unless they actually own the land (they don't), they can't kick you off, report you for tresspassing, or harass you. There are a few anomalies to this, one being Island Lake Lodge near Fernie, where a group of Skiers/snowboarders purchased the land from Shell Oil +30 years ago. Therefore it is private land. -Heli Skiers can drop pretty much anywhere, where sledders are extremely limited to where they can ride. -Heli Skiers are typically not Canadian, they are ultra wealthy Americans or Europeans. -Helis are louder and produce more emissions than snowmobilers -Heli Skiers (as Matt says), do not contribute to the local economy like a sledder or even resort skiers would. -A Heli Operation's License of Occupation will give them access (tenure) as the exclusive Heli operation to use that mountain. Same as a hunting outfitter given a LOO (exclusive zone) to guide on land that prohibits all other outfitters from guiding on. A L.O.O. does not ban motorized access like an environmental closure does, typically the only License of Occupation that can ban sleds are ski resorts (which makes sense). Pretty messed up a Heli can drop Euro Tourists on mountains with environmental closures, and they are completely closed for sledding for Canadians.
As a couple have stated, I would go to the local sled club to report the incident with the helj skiers, then go to the heli skier outfit and report the incident with the company, and clubs, zero need for that, can easily get along for that short window of time
The club has absolutely nothing to do with that area. The heli-ski outfit is a foreign owned capital company that would privatize the back country and lock out sledders if they could. And there's a good change the guide isn't from anywhere around here either.
Pretty brave barking at 8 guys, total bruiser or more likely he's a douche whose never been slapped around. I would have started making fun of him, like poor baby has to share his mountain, what, mommy & daddy only had one kid? look at you throwing a temper tantrum.

I called about a company near Rossland a few years ago and the person at Front Counter was not happy with the guide.

Great video!! Just know Matt, that if you ever should be pondering a 60min episode.... None of us would be complaining. Just saying with all the footage Im sure you go through to cut down to a "usual" length, I for one would love to see it all. Still super jealous of your adventures and abilities. Happy sleddin!!!
I’m a heli ski guide and I love seeing anyone out there getting it, and never respond in the way the guide did. I think what makes me a bit nervous is having the drone share airspace with the helicopter.
That guide was for real? What a DS, there is plenty of backwoods for all of us, we can’t ride what they like to ski anyhow. Thanks for representing Matt
16:25 sweet freaking pull. I'm sitting at work and that got me freaking stoked 😅🤘🏽. One thing after all these years that I think would be cool for the vids is every now and then put like what time of day it is in one of the corners
Just some respect for not getting pissed and just staying calm, and especially if that zone closes in two weeks then your position is pretty understandable.
Love the content. Miss the daily. I get it. Miss the Jerrys. Look fwd to more with the mod sled! Keep it up bro! P.S. i turned 49 this year. Just starting to rip like upper intermediate. Side hill like a boss, not gotten a hop over yet. This is the year. You aint old till ya quit.
Used my silky fairly heavily and it's only got a couple teeth missing excellent saw for clearing single track on dirtbike as well temu has a identical saw alot cheaper too I may give a go
Matt... you need to get your munster finger throttle on your sled(s); see you're having issues with cruise. Awesome video's! Hope the rest of the season is as good as it's now!!!
If the zone is open and everyone knows its legal, the guide has no basis for complaining. He can easily take his guests somewhere else and wait until the zone is closed to sleds in a couple weeks.
except thats not how it works, 90% of tenures are open to recreational sledding all year, mosy commercial ski operations have no additional rights to the land (unlike a ski hill where they pay for and enjoy “exclusive tenure”
@@tylerp5494 They (Heli) have the option of just going over 1 more mountain past where the sledders are. They just don't want to burn extra fuel so they end up bitching out the Sled community. As far as I'm concerned they should charge there wealthy foreign clients a bit more and go further out past the sled areas. Problem resolved. As the crow flies, us snowmobilers are not that far from where we park our trucks, like it would be 10 to 15 min max in a helicopter, so they can easily go a little further past the Sledders.
There’s been a lot of discussion about the interaction involving a heliski guide, but it’s important to consider a key detail: a drone was in the air while a Bell 212 helicopter was operating nearby and approaching a pickup location. Drones pose a significant safety risk to traditional aircraft, especially in these scenarios. This is a critical aviation safety concern that pilots and guides must address. It’s likely the guide was communicating the situation to the pilot, who may have been understandably alarmed. That said, while the guide’s response could have been more measured, it’s a reminder of the importance of clear and respectful communication in high-risk situations like this. A calm explanation of the safety risks would have been more effective. This isn’t meant as criticism of anyone involved, but rather as an opportunity to understand the broader context and the risks associated with drones and aviation. These incidents highlight the need for continued education and awareness about the safe use of drones in areas where aircraft are operating.
Fantastic video. You guys have to much fun. I see some of the forecast have 2-3’ of snow coming for the mountains around Revelstoke in the next week plus more on the horizon.
Had to watch the video before my first ride of the year in very low snow conditions for a mtn sled. But I'll be burning fuel so it will be a good day. Thanks for the video's
oh you bad guys , you should put all that snow back where it was for those skiers hahahaha. I've been told to go back to Alberta by other sledders , must be something in the water 😆😆😆
You lucky bastards! Still waiting for our first real storm down here in Utah. Although it was the opposite last year. It who gives a shit about last year! We need snow NOW!
Quick note to my Last comment we all had Mod Sleds max 150 hp but the Mods saved us from Stucks many times as we rode off Trail as much as on, looks like you guys had All kinds of fun!
Awesome video as always. Happy to have you back for the season :) Don't know if this has been brought up, but have you stopped using Munster Fingergas and if so, why?
I wish I could justify a new sled every(or every other) season. The turbo power would be nice! I have a pair of '09 Summit Xs that have several mods, and I just make sure one is always running.

Whats with the entitled heli ski guide.. 'go back to Alberta.' As if his commercial interests in the back country(crown land), where he guides people who are often from outside BC supercedes individual Canadians right to enjoy crown land.. He can't even stand on a environmental soap box as that heli burns a fuk of a lot more fuel than those sleds.. and has zero emissions standards it must comply with compared to these sleds.

Not running a finger throttle on your sleds anymore? Seems like last year you began leaving the stock thumb throttle in place, any reason or just easier?
Awesome content as usual…but you guys are rolling on 42s. What’s that? In rock crawling, we went from 33s, to 35s to 38s to 40s…then 42s. (Tire diameter , in inches, not centimeters lol). It made it too easy, a ton of us went back to 35s (NA 850) maybe 38s(9R). Might not be as exciting but it’s a lot of fun to get ‘there’. Keep it up!

Heli skiers think they own Blue River too. They can take their money and shove it. Thats public land. I’m born and raised in BC’s interior and i am sick and tired of the rich and wealthy thinking they can take over the recreational areas of this province. From sledding to hunting, the deep breathers and rich and wealthy continue to take more and more from the rest of us. It would have been a much different situation for that guide if the crew i ride with were there. Keep it up Matt, the comments on this video are stacked with support. The BC snowmobile community runs deep. It’s not going anywhere.
Nothing like a morning coffee and a balls out, full throttle, hang the he!l on freerider vid to start the day.. THANKS MATT... From my rustic, slightly lob-sided, art deco igloo on the mountain in grande cache alberta D.
The reason for that is when the heli comes in and flares for a landing it can cause a white out. They land close to the guides wearing bright colors to keep reference. A heli will take an easy decent to ground trying to use as little pitch change as possible and fly it right to ground to limit the amount of flare as not to blow up snow to cause visual reference loss. So they land close to the guide. This type of landing is also for dusty conditions.
I love how Dawson just laughed at the ski guide, Dawson always just so chill no matter what happens to his sled, or during the day!
He’s just a chill guy
