Safety & Risk Awareness

Our team works tirelessly to provide a high standard of safety and risk management. From pre-trip briefings to in-the-field practices, each aspect of our operation is built on a foundation of care, caution, and awareness. We partner with leading safety equipment providers, employ highly trained and certified professionals, and continuously review our protocols to uphold the highest safety standards. All guests receive thorough briefings on the use of the supplied avalanche safety equipment (shovels, probes, transceivers and airbags), and how to behave around our aircraft.

Our Aircraft & Pilots

Coast Range Heli-Skiing is proudly partnered with one of British Columbia’s premier helicopter operators - Blackcomb Helicopters - to fly our guests. Blackcomb Helicopters operates a fleet of Airbus H125 and Bell 212 aircraft that are rigorously maintained to the highest safety standards and are piloted by seasoned professionals and locals. You can’t ask for a more knowledgeable group of pilots - they know this area like the back of their hands.

Experienced Guides

Our guiding team consists of ACMG/IFMGA-certified guides with extensive experience in alpine environments. Their expertise and dedication to safety are invaluable to every Coast Range Heli Skiing adventure. From assessing weather conditions to avalanche risk management, our guides ensure that your experience is thrilling yet carefully managed.

Waiver

Each guest will be required to sign a Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims, Assumption of Risks, and Indemnity Agreement (“Waiver”) before the planned activity/trip commences.  In no event will a guest be permitted to participate in a planned activity/trip without having signed a Waiver.  Please note that, in addition to agreeing to the Waiver electronically, each guest will be required to sign an electronic version of the Waiver at check-in.

Safety & Risk Awareness

Prior to participating in any heli-skiing or similar activities with Coast Range Heli-Skiing (any such activities, the “Heli Activities”), we ask that all participants carefully review Heli Cat Canada Safety webpage regarding safety and risk awareness.  Heli Activities take place in wilderness areas and involve the risk of injury.  The information contained on the HeliCat Canada Safety webpage is intended to inform you of the risks, dangers, and hazards you may encounter while participating in Heli Activities, and to help you stay safe while enjoying these activities.
