GUIDES
 Our heli-ski guides have
achieved their professional status through a
variety of routes, including courses
with the: Canadian Avalanche Association and certification
from the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides,
|
| |
SAFETY
The Union
Internationale des Associations de Guides de Montagne,
the Austrian Ski Guide Program, the Canadian Ski Guide
Association, and the BC Helicopter Ski Operators
Association. All guides must take avalanche courses;
first aid certification; mountaineering, rope handling
and rescue courses; and participate in the annual
in-house training with Whistler Heli-Skiing. The guides
have had many years of in-field experience. Within the
guide staff we have guides who speak English, German,
French, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, and
Dutch.

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. |
