Western/International Ski Trips

Heliski, Panorama, BC
February 27 - March 6, 2010

This trip represents the first of its kind for SCWDC, an exhilarating adventure into the world of bottomless powder, run after run, the kind you can only access by helicopter. rk Heliski's more than 38 years of experience in the industry means that the heliski/boarding tours are led by some of the world's best mountain guides accessing wide open alpine slopes, scenic glaciers, and forest glades dusted with annual snowfalls of up to 1,100 cm/36 feet. A Bell 212 helicopter will whisk the group to the top of each run and pick up at the bottom.

Another reason to ski with rk is the exceptional location, rk's site can't be beat. Our proximity to Panorama means that you will never have a day where you cannot ski. There are minimal days that we are unable to access the backcountry due to bad weather, but if you happen to be booked to heliski on one of those days, you will not find yourself stranded in the lodge. The opportunity exists for you to ski at Panorama, which is within walking distance from the rk's base lodge.
