Heli Skiing with Powder Mountain
The combined tenures of companies operating in Whistler total nearly a million acres, meaning fresh tracks always await skiers and boarders on nearly every run.
Powder Mountain specializes in day trips, semi-private and private packages, and has the best price tag for heliskiing in Whistler.
Epic bowls, long glacier runs that have the most perfect pitch, peaks that look so sweet you want to drop in and do a thousand turns, or just three from top to nospace. And of course mind blowing tree runs that leave your jaw on the floor.
They are partnered up with Black Tusk Helicopter, who have the 247,000 acre tenure all around us and down towards Squamish and Vancouver. It’s almost safe to say if you’ve ever thought about skiing anything you can see from Highway 99 to the Powder Mountain base lodge on your way up to Whistler, you can ski it with Powder Mountain Heliskiing.
They fly A-Star helicopters which lift one pilot, one fully certified professional heliski guide, and four guests to some of the most amazing and easily accessible terrain anywhere.
The A-Star
Is small, nimble, fast and safe – the perfect machine for flying in the mountains.
• The A-Star Helicopter is the most beautiful ski lift ever invented.
• With just 6 seats: one pilot, one fully certified heliski guide and four guests, your day is incredible from the second you arrive.
When you ski from an A-Star you will remember it for the rest of your life. It’s that good.
The best thing about a helicopter is that it can go pretty much anywhere. From the front seat out fully certified guides sniff out the best run, every run. With skiing and riding on all aspects, there is seldom a day where we go skiing that isn’t “Your Best Day Ever”.
Helicopter groups have only four people, and any mismatch of abilities is minimized when we group guests so everyone has approximately the same ability. That way your day is the most fun, with the best skiing and a relaxed and truly enjoyable atmosphere.
Fully certified heliskiing guide will take you into the backcountry to experience powder skiing and riding like it is supposed to be: un-tracked, un-hurried, un-crowded, unbelievable.
Heliskiing Whistler and Heli Boarding
Epic bowls, long glacier runs that have the most perfect pitch, peaks that look so sweet you want to drop in and do a thousand turns, or just three from top to nospace. And of course mind blowing tree runs that leave your jaw on the floor.
One of the best things about Powder Mountain is that it dumps snow like few places on earth. We get double to triple the snow Whistler Blackcomb receives in a season, depending on the year. The storms come off the ocean and slam into “our” mountains. Making for awesome skiing and riding.
What abilities ?
You should have advanced or better skiing ability, with experience in a variety of conditions including powder, trees and steeper terrain. We match the ability of the group to the terrain.
Our more relaxed experience lets you concentrate on enjoying the day and learning to ski or ride better. Our guides are fully certified instructors who can help you with tips and pointers throughout the day. Untracked snow is great for learning to ski or ride in powder.
We highly recommend that you rent fat skis or a powder snowboard from Whistler village. The right skis or board makes powder easier and more fun.
