Adventurer FYI: Heli-Skiing Happens Outside Banff National Park
Our heli-skiing tours operate out of Panorama, BC, roughly 2 hours outside of the park (shuttle transport is available for an extra fee), home to some of the most pristine powder you’ll find anywhere in the Canadian wild. This region offers:
- Vast alpine terrain
- Consistent snow conditions
- Professionally managed safety programs and experienced guides
The result is a heli-skiing experience that feels remote and exciting, while still being well organized and responsibly run, so you’ll always have peace of mind.
What to Expect from a Heli-Skiing Day
Heli-skiing is all about gaining exclusive access to remote areas that few people ever have the chance to experience. Being flown out to these remote areas gives you unbeatable access to fresh, untouched powder, providing an exciting challenge to hit by skis or snowboard.
A typical day includes:
- A detailed safety briefing
- Small group sizes with experienced guides
- Multiple runs depending on conditions (with the opportunity to purchase additional runs, weather and conditions permitting).
- Plenty of time to take in the scenery between descents
Our guides tailor your adventure to the collective experience of your group, ensuring that no one is left out or feels in “over their head” while skiing.
