The Mountains we heliski at are around 8500ft high and typically each run is around 2000 to 3000 feet per run. The terrain is superb high open glaciers and friendly tree runs. Whistler Heli-Skiing has been in operation for 28 years offering single day guided heliski adventures into the Backcountry surrounding the Whistler Pemberton area.
