Heli-Skiing and Sledding

Heli Skiing and Snowboarding is an experience of a lifetime, nothing beats untouched powder with a small group of friends in the beautiful Coastal BC mountains.

Squamish is blessed with epic backcountry skiing so close to the city, and hit with deep powder due to storms from the Pacific Ocean.

Helicopters provide you with the flexibility to go pretty much everywhere to access our powder the way it is meant to be, unhurried and uncrowded.

Weather

The Coast Mountains around Squamish receive some of the highest precipitation in North America, due to the moist air and storms off of the pacific ocean. Precipitation falls heavier in the winter months from November to April, The best part of this is powder at higher elevations!

The temperature between the lowland coastal areas and the high alpine is usually in opposite, with warmer and mild winters experienced in Squamish, while elevations above the treeline remain below freezing in the winter months. It is important to keep an eye on the freezing level, as this fluctuates frequently across different elevations. Extremely cold temperatures do occur but are rare in the coastal mountains.

Snow Conditions

The typical snow climate in higher elevations is characterized by frequent snowfalls, and soft deep snow is the norm. All conditions are possible, but we are lucky generally have good to excellent snow conditions in the coast mountains surrounding Squamish BC.
