While it may commonly be referred to as heli-skiing, that doesn’t mean snowboarders can’t join in on the fun. Discover why Whistler Heli-Skiing is also the ultimate experience for heli-snowboarding and the thrill-seeking rider.
Why You Need to Experience Heli-Snowboarding
When it comes to heli-snowboarding, the sky is quite literally the limit. When you travel in a helicopter, you’ll get to shred more vert than you ever have in a day and still be back in time for après. This is the purest form of boarding—no lift lines, no crowds, just you and the mountain.
Whistler Heli-Skiing is the Place for Heli-Boarding
Located in the Coast Range of British Columbia, heli-boarding in Whistler means snow —lots of it! With an average annual snowfall of 11.63m (38.2 feet) per year, exclusive heli access to over 176 glaciers, and with an average of just 50 skiers and boarders per day, there is no shortage of powder terrain to go around.
Your Chance to Explore Untouched Backcountry
This smooth, untracked snow creates a sensation akin to surfing. Heli-boarding really emphasizes the freestyle elements of riding with no shortage of fluid movements and carving. When it comes to speed, buckle up—these expansive, open landscapes will have you flying.
