Dropping into the Bella Coola valley in the smallest
commercial turbo-prop ever.
Our destination: Tweedsmuir Park Lodge, home of Bella Coola Heli Sports
and Peter Mattsson - better known as 'the Swede'. Although, I was with
another 4 'Swedes' - and you know what happens when 5 Swedes get together
in the mountains with a fully stocked bar.
Sune Sund doing what he does best.
We had really challenging conditions. Breakable crust and ice
on the surface combined with deep instability in the snowpack.
Very unusual conditions for the Coast Mountains.
TR and Sven out working.
Really big terrain in Bella Coola. Will be back as soon as it's deep and stable.
Fortunately the Swede is also all about good food and drink, so we survived.
The lodge and the cabins are super comfortable, and the service
is excellent.
Sven wondering where business class is. Watch your head..
Better luck next time.
