GUIDES & SAFETY Our
ski guides are certified by the Association of
Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG), the International
Federation of Mountain Guides (IFMGA/UIAGM) and/or
the Canadian Ski Guides Association (CSGA). In
addition, our guides belong to the Canadian
Avalanch Association (CAA).
SLIDE SHOW
As well
as public information and education in avalanch science
and rescue techniques, the CAA implements a data-sharing system that
aids our guides in making accurate assessements
of snow stability when they correlate it with
local field data.
Helicopter Pilots and
Communication Pacific Western Helicopters
Ltd. supply us with helicopters. They follow a
rigorous schedule of safety inspections and
maintenance by their own engineers on our site, or
at their base in Mackenzie, BC. Our pilots have
extensive mountain flying experience, have taken
part in mountain training programs, and have
superb local knowledge. The pilots and guides work
together to bring you the best skiing day
possible. Pilots and/or guides report
their location to the base station every half
hour. The guides carry rescue, first aid, and
backcountry survival equipment in their packs. In
addition, rescue equipment, survival supplies and
additional first aid supplies are carried in the
helicopter.
In the event
of an emergency, your guides and pilots are trained in
every possible scenario. The helicopter is used for
transportation, perhaps for direct transfer to the
hospital, or to a waiting ground transfer vehicle.
Guests must cover the cost for evacuation by helicopter
at their own expense. We recommend that you carry
insurance for such ambulance service in the event of an
emergency.
