HELI-ACCESSED SKI TOURING

Experience a thrilling winter adventure! Avoid the crowds by booking a private helicopter that will take you deep into the Tantalus Range. Explore the backcountry with your friends or family alongside a qualified ACMG guide. Start your day with a scenic helicopter ride to the Tantalus Range. Once you arrive, enjoy an exhilarating descent and continue touring for the rest of the day.

Conditions are generally favorable, with plenty of powder to ensure excellent turns for everyone. Your skilled ski guide will take you down some unforgettable descents. Small group sizes allow for personalized attention and a day at a comfortable pace.

Conclude your day with a final descent to the valley bottom, depending on conditions. Share high fives all around before heading back to the Squamish Heliport by helicopter. Customise your day with alternate pick-up locations from Whistler Heli Port or even Vancouver Harbour Heli Port (Please inquire about this option)

If weather conditions prevent the helicopter from flying, we will either arrange a new date with you or offer an alternative product for the same day that does not require a helicopter. In this case, any helicopter-related costs will be refunded.
