  • Maximum Groups: only 1-2 groups per helicopter to ensure a good flow for the day.

  • Ski/snowboard rentals courtesy of Black Tie Whistler.

  • Avalanche airbag packs & radios: all our guests get one, included for your safety.

  • Complimentary shuttle transport from your Whistler Village or Creekside (Whistler) accommodation is included to the Whistler Heliport. If you prefer to self-drive we have complimentary parking at our location (9960 Heliport Road, Whistler). We are located approximately 12 minutes drive north of Whistler Village, or 20 minutes drive north of Creekside.

  • 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.

  • The amount of heli-skiing you experience each day depends on several factors. We guarantee a minimum of 5 runs per day, with additional runs included at no extra cost when conditions allow. Your guide and pilot will make the final decision on when to conclude skiing or riding, always prioritizing safety. While your desired amount of skiing is taken into account, it is balanced with factors such as weather, snow conditions, daylight, group dynamics, and overall abilities.

  • Customers will receive a full refund or credit if cancelled by 10:00am, 7 days before booked day.

    Customers will also receive a full refund or credit in case of operator cancellation due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

    Contact us by phone to cancel or inquire about a cancellation. No-shows will be charged the full price.
