Let the Season Begin!

It's currently snowing in Whistler and we are excited to announce that Whistler Heli-Skiing is scheduled to start heli-skiing tomorrow, Wednesday, December 10th!

Yesterday Whistler Heli-Skiing were up in the helicopters taking a look at the alpine terrain. They found some good skiing in the Spearhead and outlying areas and are excited to strap on their skis and boards tomorrow for the first runs of their 28th season (2008-2009).

Weather looks good for flying on both Wednesday and Thursday with more snow expected to arrive on Friday and clearing skies on Saturday.

Banff Heli-Skiing & Heli-Boarding

This is the ultimate experience for the high intermediate to expert skier or boarder. A true once in a lifetime experience - Heli-skiing and Heli-boarding.

The skiing and boarding takes place on alpine glaciers and open slopes, as well as in the trees and gladed areas of the subalpine forest with the backdrop of the fabulous mountain landscape.

Spectacular scenery, pristine snow, diversifed terrain - these tours do not disappoint!

The Heli-Ski area lies a few minutes flight away and covers over 2000 square km - west of Golden and North of the Bugaboos - in the Purcell Mountains. These mountains of Interior British Columbia are famous for their reliable amounts of fresh snow and exceptional powder.

There are close to 200 runs offering every conceivable type of mountain terrain and exposure. Multi-day tours are available - please contact rocky-peak Holidays direct for details or visit their website for more information on Banff Heli-Skiing tours.
