EQUIPMENT
 Your ski attire should be very
similar to what you would wear for a day on
Whistler or Blackcomb Mountains. The modern ski
clothing of breathable, water-resistant, and
windproof materials is very good. The layer system
is best but avoid the temptation to overdress. |
| |
| Goggles, gloves, and a
hat are a must, and sunglasses and sunscreen are
necessary on sunny days in the spring. A wool or fleece
hat is better than a baseball cap, which may be blown
away by the wind from the helicopter. The Whistler
Heli-Skiing Store and the Online Boutique carry a good
selection of top-quality ski wear, powder gloves, and
ski accessories.
|
Please dress the same way you would
for the mountain.
Goggles are a must. Sunglasses
(with retention straps) are best kept for springtime
use.
Sunscreen is important in the
spring.
Please bring a wool or fleece hat.
Ball caps are not recommended.
Skiers wishing to bring a shovel
pack may do so if it is small and approved by the guide
in the morning. Please remember that you will be
expected to ski with it for the entire day as nothing
may be left in the helicopter.
Hydration backpacks are a great way
to bring water along and are frequently carried by our
veteran heliskiers. |
| In each 212 helicopter, there will be
one of our specially trained video-photo team to capture
the day on film for you. You may bring your own camera,
but we suggest that it be small enough to carry in a
pocket. |
|
To verify that you have made
the right choice of apparel you may check the current
alpine temperature and weather conditions from the
Whistler/Blackcomb "snowphone" at 932-4211 early in the
morning before you go skiing. |
