- If it’s on, we’ll pick you up and take you to the staging area where you’re introduced to your pilot, guide and fellow heli-skiers.
- A safety briefing is given covering avalanche transceivers, helicopter and mountain safety.
- Then you fly off to the first heli-ski run.
- All groups meet for a gourmet buffet lunch with time to relax.
- The afternoon is back to the ultimate - more heli-ski runs
If weather conditions preclude flying you can reschedule to the next day. Reservations must be reconfirmed by 6.00pm the day prior to flying. It is wise to book well in advance especially during our peak season.
