Much as it might seem crazy to be thinking about booking a winter holiday when the sun is blazing in the sky, in fact this is just when you should be starting to look for that winter vacation location or you’ll miss out on the very best choices of accommodation.

For example, you’ll currently find that some Whistler accommodation is offering reductions of around $20/night at the moment which doesn’t take long adding up to significant saving. However, aside from the business of reductions in cost there’s a much greater selection of Whistler lodging available at the moment than you’ll find if you leave it a couple of months.

Even a quite look around right now will find gems such as the breathtaking Mountain Star 4 which would be fantastic at any time I think but book now and there’s $25/night off the price for what sounds like a truly wonderful cabin.

Actually, not nearly as expensive as you’d think. In fact, there isn’t a whole lot of difference in the cost as compared to a normal ski trip once you count up all the costs and you get a whole lot more ski time than you would on a normal ski holiday.

The big diffences are that heliskiing holidays are generally pitched at the luxury end of the market and can guarantee that you can ski every day. Even if the weather is too bad to take the helicopter up, you can get a fall-back option of a snowcat to take you up instead. Either way you’re on the slopes every day which you generally can’t depend on on a normal ski vacation.

Still not convinced? How about all that virgin snow that you’ll get to ski on? That’s one thing you can pretty much rule out on a normal ski trip. Don’t forget that the luxury element is carried through to the food and accommodation too. For example, Snow Water have a truly mouthwatering selection of dishes illustrated for their ski trips which you’re unlikely to find on offer on normal ski trips.

Heliskiing in British Columbia is a very appealing option with pretty much everything included in the pricing and, as we all know, it’s the “little things” that aren’t included which can really take the price of a holiday through the roof. In fact, although the list price of a heliski vacation is pretty much certain to be higher than that of a normal ski break, add all those little extras in and the bottom line isn’t all that different whereas the quality of holiday is, of course, completely different.

Commercial haulage is very much a specialised field as it requires a much wider range of transportation than normal house moves do.

For one thing, commercial items come in all shapes and sizes and therefore the capability of moving large items with peculiar shapes is just part and parcel of heavy haul trucking for commercial haulage firms. Whilst you might get away with using a normal house moving type company for most business moves, they get out of their league very quickly when you get into specialised moves involving the moving of heavy equipment, oversized or “odd” items and for these you definitely need a true commercial haulage firm at your disposal.
