Go further this winter! Escape the crowds in a private helicopter that takes you deep into the Tantalus Range. Explore deep into the backcountry with your friends or family and a qualified ACMG guide. Start your day with a scenic helicopter ride to the Tantalus Range. Once you are dropped off start your day with an epic decent, then continue touring for the rest of the day.

Conditions are almost always favourable with lots of powder to ensure great turns for all. Your experienced ski guide will lead you down some memorable descents. Intimate group sizes provide individual attention and a day at the right pace.

End your day with a final decent all the way to the valley bottom (depending on conditions). High fives all round before heading back in the Heli to the Squamish Heliport. Customise your day with alternate pick-up locations from Whistler Heli Port or even Vancouver Harbour Heli Port (Please inquire about this option)

If the weather conditions do not allow the helicopter to fly, we will arrange an alternative date with you or offer an alternative product for the same day that does not require the use of a helicopter (in this instance, any helicopter costs will be refunded).
