EQUIPMENT Good equipment and clothing is essential to a
positive heliskiing winter vacation. It is
important to visualize each day, as a backcountry
expedition. Being prepared for a variety of winter
conditions is very important. We highly recommend skis designed for
powder snow. You are welcome to bring your own "powder
skis", and the new mountain skis will do the job as
well.
SLIDE SHOW
Most skiers rent our fat skis made by Volkl,
Atomic or Rossignol with Solomon bindings. Your bindings
will be set-up by a certified ski technician in our shop
at the start of your holiday. Oowder skis are
enthusiastically used by our experienced guides, as well
as previous heli-skiers. They make the job of turning in
variable snow conditions effortless for advanced skiers
and allow less experienced powder skiers to feel
confident and capable.
The booking form has a space for
your height and weight. We're not being nosey...
but the ski length is determined by the
combination of these two factors. Also, this
information helps us plan groups for the
helicopter.
Hats &/or
Helmets
If you
choose to wear a helmet, we recommend the type that
have the fabric ear covers, as it is difficult to
hear the guide's/your group's instructions with a racing-style
helmet.
Layered Clothing
Heliskiing, as well as our other exciting winter
activities, will cause you to generate heat when you're
active, and cool down during sitting/waiting periods.
For your outer layer we highly recommend a one-piece
suit OR pants with a good bib feature that protects your
core, plus a well-designed jacked with powder flaps,
zipper covers, good pockets and quality fabrics. Wou'll
need somewhere for your little toiletry items,
accessories and goggle wipes!
Lodge Gift Shop
Our
equipment shop will be stocked with a select number of
quality items for your adventures: socks, thermal layers
by Arc'teryx, goggles, sunglasses, daypacks, outer
garments, gloves and more.
