Your heli skiing/ heli boarding vacation commences with your arrival in Terrace, a direct flight from Vancouver, BC, on the evening of the first day of your package. You should plan to arrive in Vancouver by mid afternoon on that day in order to make the connection to Terrace where you will arrive at approximately 19:30. A company representative will meet you at the airport and accompany you to our lodge. Upon arrival, it's time to relax and get set-up at the lodge. You will meet for an informal orientation, enjoy a light meal, get checked into your rooms and get your skis and snowboards sized up.

The first morning is busy with the introduction to our skiing program and several safety briefings. Your heli skiing guide will provide you with instruction in the use of the Avalanche Transceiver and rescue equipment. We will review our heli skiing and safety procedures and finally your pilot will go through a helicopter safety briefing with you. All guests will be required to sign our Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims, Assumption of Risks and Indemnity Agreement,(Sample Waiver Form). Every effort will be made to keep groups that are traveling together skiing/boarding together, however we must reserve the right to build the groups according to our safetyguidelines. You will notice that this is a reoccurring theme in everything we do. Safety First! 

The rest of the week follows a more relaxed schedule:

07:00 - Stretch Class (optional)

07:30 - Breakfast and guides daily announcement
08:30 - 09:00 - Helicopters depart for heli skiing
12:00 - Lunch - A hearty meal in the mountains
15:30 - 17:00 - Return to the lodge (weather and group dependent)
17:00 - Après' heli ski snacks
19:00 - Dinner

The last day of your heli skiing/heli boarding package is a full heliski day. You will return to the lodge at the regular time and you'll have plenty of time to clean up and change prior to checking out. A three course gourmet dinner will be served prior to departing for the airport. At this time we will be taking reservations for the following season and making plans to see you again.

You will arrive in Vancouver by approximately 22:00. If you decide to stay in Vancouver for the night we recommend either of the fabulous Fairmont Hotels, the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel or the Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel.
