The Heli-Skier Team is Here to Share The STOKE of Heliskiing!

Heliskiing Blue Bird Day in The Selkirk Mountains British Columbia

Heliskiing a Blue Bird Day - Four friends in The Selkirk Mountains British Columbia

The Heli-Skier Team continues to grow. We're humbled by those who understand & adopt our vision. 

THE BACKSTORY: It all began with an idea in in 2020...and founder BRADY was lucky enough to acquire the URL "heli-skier.com!" As luck and destiny would have it, his primary business, SoCal VA Homes, helping U.S.A. Veterans buy homes, began to slow down as rates rose dramatically. That offered a window of opportunity for BRADY to pursue his passions.

The conceptual work on the the site began in 2022, and then the developer began structural design late that year. The concept and design work took nearly nine months...OMG! Writing and publishing the individual pages took more than a year!

We really wanted to publish an independent, 3rd party review site - the Wikipedia of Heli-Skiing, and we succeeded!

Thanks to the original contributing team members, after nine months of tediously publishing well over 200 pages, we launched in October of 2023! And the NEXT enhancements on the site are going to be a game changer!

Everyone has a role and continues to contribute to our growth!

Thanks Team!

Pete Brady - Founder

Pete Brady

Bear Paw Heliskiing Review

BRADY prepares to board the A-Star for more POW!

He likes to be referred to as BRADY.

It's a personal joke with Peter...trying to avoid references to the culturally iconic an incredibly popular USA TV show of the early 70s known as The Brady Bunch! (the character "Peter Brady" was the middle of three sons.)

Founder Pete BRADY has been skiing since 1968, with his roots in North Tahoe, beginning at Homewood.

BRADY's vision for Heli-skier begins with his passion of continuing to explore heliskiing Operators and their exciting terrain all over the globe.

See BRADY's BIO page.

Dave Brady

Dave Brady - Copilot and #1 Wingman 

Pete Brady And Dave Brady Heli Skiers

Dave began skiing at Homewood Ski Area in North Tahoe in 1968. He has at least 57 years on skis and has skied nearly every resort in California, Colorado and Utah.

You can see him still charging hard at his home turf and Go-to mountain, Palisades Tahoe.

Dave has been a wingman on many heli-trips with the founder, Pete Brady, including:

Selkirk Tangiers, Arctic Heliskiing Iceland, Bear Paw Heliskiing & Sweetwater Heli

When you get a chance to ski with Dave, ask him about his gear...he's the quintessential "gearhead," and will talk your ear off!

Mike Cleary

Mike Cleary - Sales Associate & Wingman #2

Heli Skier Mike Cleary

An avid back country and adventure enthusiast, Mike always sports a smile!

Mike claims that BRADY taught him to ski in the 60s, but it's so long ago, neither of them can remember!

They broke the mold when they made this guy...one of a kind!

Mike makes a profession at playing in the snow!

Graduating from Loyola University of Chicago in 2024 with a degree in marketing and entrepreneurship, Mia is no stranger to SEO research and brand development, and she has skillfully applied those talents at Heli-Skier!

Mia was the Brand Development Officer for SteamE, Rachel Kohler's start up in Chicago, and now hast taken a similar position at OpenGov.

Mia's comment's to her dad's heliskiing posts are usually something like, "DOPE!"

Alex Lavrenov

Alex Lavrenov - Director of Affiliate Relations

Alex Lavrenov Director Of Affiliate Relations Heli Skier

Alex was quickly infected with the passion and stoke for heliskiing!

Having a professional background in real estate and mortgage lending, the same as Founder Brady's background, the two easily found common ground to develop a productive working relationship.

Alex is responsible for all initial outreach and relationship development with Heliskiing Operators and ski shop affiliates.

Frankly, Alex does all the initial "heavy lifting" as it relates to relationships with sponsors, operators, ski shop owners & mangers and any outreach for brand development.

Barney Phillips

Barnett "Barney" Phillips IV - Contributor

Barnett Barney Phillips Iv Heli Skier

Barney still hitting the gates hard!

Barney Phillips has a heliskiing resume which is impressive! His notable list of Operators includes:

Several trips with Valdez Heliski Guides, Turkey Heliski, Arctic Heliskiing & Heliski Greeland, just to highlight the short list!

Naturally, he has been all over BC as well. When we first met Barney, heliskiing in Iceland, he showed us some insane footage of his trips from Alaska, where he and his daughter and Team member Tory, charged death defying lines down BIG Mountain runs like Triple Jeopardy in Valdez.

Retired from a lengthy career in corporate law in Mergers & Acquisitions as a Partner at Skadden Arps, as you can see, Barney still applies that competitive nature on the course! In his 70s, Barney is still intent on running gates on nearly every resort trip he takes, which usually includes Aspen, Mammoth & Valle Nevado in Chile.

Barney is an inspiration to all of us who want to keep charging hard from the doors of an A-Star, well into our 70s and 80s!

 

Tory Phillips

Tory Phillips - Contributor

Tory Phillips Heli Skier

Tory charging a fluffy line in Turkey

Tory is a life-long, gifted skier and has a long history of heliskiing.

She's usually the first one down the pitch, as you can see from her epic videos filmed in Valdez in Alaska!

 

Fabi Lauber

Fabi Lauber - Brand Ambassador & Heli Guide

Fabi Lauber Jpow

Fabi Lauber charging a deep POW line!

See Fabi's BIO

Colin

Colin - I.T. / A.I. Director & international mystery man!

Colin Heli Skier

Colin surveys the massive expanse of the "Extreme Skiing Coliseum!"

When we met Colin on a recent trip heliskiing in Alaska and described our vision for the future of Heli-Skier, Colin immediately understood it...he got it.

It is with this kind of "buy-in" and belief, typically from the people that we meet on our adventures, that will truly make Heli-Skier an international community brand with unmatched tools, utilized by adventure travelers worldwide.

We look forward to more laps in the A-Star with Colin. And we're excited for the invaluable technology direction & contributions from this special globetrotter!

Nancy Brady - The Queen of Ski Condo!

Nancy Brady - Web Developer & Chief Operations Officer!

Nancy Brady And Pete Brady Heli Skier

Pete & Nancy enjoying some groomers in Deer Valley

"I hope you're enjoying your trip of lifetime!" - Nancy's infamous statement, Feb 2018.

Married to Founder Brady since 1991, Nancy is credited with creating and publishing some exceptional content!

Pieces such as Iceland Travel Tips...and super niche pieces like heliskiing in Baikal Lake are credited to Nancy's skilled eye for accurate content.

Without the love & support of my exceptional wife (and her kind understanding of my heliskiing addiction) Heli-Skier would not exist! Thank You! XOXO! - BRADY
