Helicopter Skiing and Snowcat Skiing
No lifts, no trails, no problem
Heli skiing takes skiers into the backcountry by way of a helicopter. Snowcat skiing takes skiers up the slopes on a snowcat, a large all-terrain vehicle. One of the world's most popular places to helicopter ski is Canada's Whistler Mountain.
Helicopter skiing and snowcat skiing are becoming very popular and offer access backcountry trails with deep, powdery snow. Generally, for the more experienced or expert skier there are numerous helicopter skiing and snowcat skiing operators in Canada.
Helicopter Skiing companies offer trips throughout British Columbia's and Alberta's Rocky Mountains and snowcat skiing is generally available throughout the same regions.
Group sizes, guide to skier ratio, helicopter flying times, snowcat distances and ski experience requirements differ depending on the package offered, but all offer an excellent way to ski Canada.
