About

The trips
Trips last 3 to 5 days and are all-inclusive. Guests fly by helicopter to an alpine base camp at about 6,000 ft, with meals, a chef, a sauna and windowed tents. Tours listed on the website include a 3 Day Alpine Exploration, a 4 Day Qualifier and an Endless Vertical heli bump tour. Group sizes are small, usually 4 to 8 riders.
Departures
Helicopter departures have been offered from Powell River, Sechelt, Squamish and Campbell River, and the final price depends on where you leave from.
Who it suits
Trips are designed for seasoned riders. You apply first and show your skills with a video or by riding with a partner company before you are accepted.
Good to know
Trips run in late summer, from late July to the end of September. Bookings for summer 2027 are open. Apply through the website or email [email protected].
