...miles northwest of Vancouver, deep in the Canadian province of British Columbia, where heli-fishing in the temperate coastal rain forest represents angling at its most spectacular. With some of the world's biggest runs of migratory wild salmon and steelhead, along with abundant rainbow and cutthroat trout, the inlets and islands south of the great Skeena River offer the kind of fishing our grandfathers liked to reminisce about. Until recently many of the smaller rivers had not been fished at all. There are no roads along the coast, and the rivers have too many rapids for boats to make...
...stunning interpretation of an Alpine resort, Blanket Bay faces Lake Wakatipu, 35 miles north of Queenstown on the South Island. The nearby Humboldt Mountains, snowcapped year round, are known as the Southern Alps and offer excellent heli-skiing in the winter (which corresponds to the U.S. summer). My wife and I took a helicopter tour of the mountains, jet-boated up the Dart River, ascended 6,000 ft. in a hot-air balloon and trekked undisturbed in a vast beech forest. We also toured one of New Zealand's most impressive wine regions, Central Otago...
...There is no bridge so departing visitors can take either the ferry or the helicopter. If you opt for the former (which costs just a few dollars) leave at least six hours before your flight. If you decide on the helicopter ($20) turn up four hours ahead at the heli-pad next to the United Nations headquarters in the Mammy Yoko hotel. 3) Get your name and passport number recorded by the police. Check in for the helicopter ride and then visit the sea-container that serves as an office for the Ministry of Mines. Here you will be asked...
...Amazing Stories ("Extravagant Fiction Today--Cold Fact Tomorrow"). It was endlessly imitated. A typical series in Famous Fantastic Mysteries was titled Crimes of the Year 2000. The crimes were not especially novel, but some of the crime-fighting devices were, for the time: tiny recorders strapped to the wrist, heli-pursuit cars, bloodhound machines that identified a perpetrator's smell. The pulp view of the millennium was dominated by gadgetry. If there was a philosophical outlook, it was patriotic and upbeat in the sense that the good guys always...
...similar gust of New World optimism came from Jonny Moseley as he spun 360[degrees] in the air with his trademark Heli-Mute Grab Jump, flew through the rest of the men's moguls course and then erupted into a gold medalist's gush ("I can't believe it. Ohmygod. This is unbelievable"). He was another competitor, one gathered, who would subscribe to the Street-wise logic: "One of the things about Japan is that it is very far removed from everyone's comfort zone. It's neutral territory for everyone...
