GUIDES AND SAFETY
 Safety is always a priority.
Our mountain lodge technical system monitor's weather
patterns, conditions & snow stability. Opera-
tions is regularly in contact with
the helicopter pilot in a combined effort to minimize
hazards due to Mother Nature. There is however, an
element of risk which in spite of our best efforts may
not be eliminated . |
| |
| When considering a
heliski/board adventure please provide accurate
information on your ability. Safety and enjoyment relies
on it. We recommend intermediate to expert.Before
skiing, your guides will brief you on the types of
hazards you may encounter in any given run, and will
give instruction in how to use a transceiver and how to
participate in an avalanche or first-aid rescue. On the
mountain, because of the diversity of terrain which we
offer, the guides will brief you on snowpack stability,
crevasses, cliffs, and other hazards as you approach
them over the course of the week.Each client must sign
the BC Helicopter and SNOWCAT SKIING Association waiver
acknowledging this reality prior to skiing with us. All
skiers and snowboarders are required to sign a
comprehensive release of liability and waiver prior to
participating in wilderness skiing with us. |
