Safety
Your safety is our primary concern. By monitoring weather and precipitation
and the ever-changing snow quality, our guides gather information to assist
in their run choices. All skiers are trained in the use of avalanche transceivers
which are worn at all times when skiing. A helicopter safety briefing serves to
keep our skiers safe in and around the helicopter.
Your serious attention is important. YOU ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. By following the instructions of your guide and your pilot, you will contribute to the safety of the entire group.
Heliskiing takes you into remote mountain terrain where we have no control over the elements. While we make every effort to minimize the risk through all reasonable efforts, we cannot eliminate the risk.
Need To Know
What to Bring
Heli Hiking
Mountain weather can change quickly and without warning so it pays to be well prepared.
Better to bring items and not need them rather than experience discomfort. We suggest the
following for your helihike:
- First Aid Kit
- layered clothing
- day pack to carry your extras
- hat, sunglasses & sunscreen
- good walking shoes or hiking boots
Heli Skiing
To enjoy heliskiing, you should bring:
- skis equipped with brakes and poles - unless you rent our FAT skis
- ski boots - ALWAYS CARRY THEM AS HAND LUGGAGE. The closest rental ski boots are available in Jasper, a 120km drive from Valemount.
- multiple layers of clothing including a waterproof ski suit (preferably one-piece) and gloves or mittens
- hat or headband and a day pack for extras. A neck warmer is a great idea
- sunglasses or goggles and sunblock
- your camera
