Heli-Assisted Ski Touring Whistler
Single & Multi-Day experiences

Combine the thrill of heli-skiing with the challenge of ski-touring

A heli ski-touring day starts at our base in Whistler where you meet your guide, discuss objectives, and do an avalanche rescue refresher.  Load up your gear and skis, and you’ll lift off for a scenic flight into the Coast Mountains. 

Now, the best part of all this is that your first run drops you on top of the mountain, so you start your day with a descent (conditions permitting). Arc some turns down a full run of untouched pow before bringing out the skins (and maybe a snack) and lapping your private zone for the day. Most groups will ski 3-5 runs, depending on run length and fitness levels. 

End the day with a pick-up from the helicopter at the bottom of your last run, and get flown home just in time for Apres in the Village, or book onto a Multi-Day Ski Touring trip to experience cozy nights up at our Yurt overlooking the Pemberton Valley.

A scenic helicopter flight delivers you to the Mt Currie zone, where pristine powder, untouched terrain, and breathtaking views await. Enjoy an unforgettable day of climbing and skiing the best lines. End the day with a heli pickup to save the ski out!

  • The Coast Range terrain includes 200,000 acres of incredible Whistler-Pemberton backcountry spread across 15 zones.

    If you thought Whistler Blackcomb was big, then Coast Range Heliskiing will blow you away. The tenure is 24 times the size of Whistler Blackcomb, so there are fresh tracks galore! Much of the terrain is in the alpine, with elevations up to 9,000 feet and runs of over 4,000 vertical feet. When conditions are not conducive to riding in the alpine, we have sub-alpine terrain and tree skiing on offer.

    Coast Range operates its commercial recreational products within a Crown Land use tenure encompassing many separate zones in British Columbia. This tenure is granted, and closely monitored and regulated, by the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development, alongside the Líl̓wat First Nations Lands and Resources Department.
