Who Can Go Heli-Skiing?
Our operations include terrain suitable
for advanced to expert skiers. Skiers are generally grouped
according to ability if possible, in order to optimize the
enjoyment for everyone. Groups consist of five clients (weight
restrictions apply) and one guide, the maximum number
of groups during a heli day is four (20 guests).
Anyone going heli-skiing should be of
an advanced to expert skiing ability, able to make good
parallel turns in all conditions.
With the advancement of powder and fat skis, powder skiing
experience is not completely necessary. Fat ski rentals
(the new Rossignol Phantom SC 95) can easily be arranged
right
in our shop, and are always encouraged.
Snowboarders are also
welcome on heli-ski outings. They should also be of advanced
to expert ability, able to hold an edge
on a traverse and carry their speed across any flat areas.
The guide will always keep you informed of what is to be
expected.
STILL NOT SURE? Book your own private group.
Would you prefer to have a private day without the added
pressure of others in your group? We fly the modern Bell
407 helicopter, which seats 5 skiers (weight
restrictions apply) and your guide. Simply
purchase all 5 seats, and then you choose as many (up to
5) or as few people in your group as you like. The advantage
is, you get to set the pace and your guide will be able
to customize the day to better suit your needs. |
