Leave the winter driving to us. Return transportation is available from Banff hotels for $175 plus GST per person.
Travelling with someone who isn’t heliskiing? Non-heliskiing guests are welcome to join the shuttle and spend the day in Panorama, BC.
Most guests choose to drive themselves from Banff. Free parking is available at the RK. Heliski lodge. The drive takes approximately two hours in normal conditions. Be sure to allow additional time for winter roads and changing weather.
If you’re confident skiing or riding black diamond terrain, in reasonable physical shape and comfortable managing variable snow conditions, you’re likely well suited for a heli day. Previous powder experience isn’t required.
Your guide is with you throughout the day selecting terrain that suits the group, helping you adjust to the conditions and making sure the experience feels manageable and fun.
All guests are asked to arrive at 8:00 a.m. for check-in at the RK. Heliski lodge. Your morning begins with a hot breakfast, followed by equipment fitting and mountain safety training. By approximately 10:00 a.m., you’ll be heading into the Purcells for your first run of the day.
Ski or ride with your guide, stop for lunch in the mountains and return to the lodge for après when your runs are complete.
No. You should be confident skiing or riding black diamond terrain, comfortable in variable snow conditions and in reasonable physical shape. If you’re unsure whether your ability is a good fit, include a note with your availability request. Our team will be happy to talk it through with you.
