Our guide to guest ratio is 1 to 4. The staff takes your group's ability and desires into account along with the daily snow stability and weather forecasts to find the best terrain for you. Helicopters used in the operation are the Eurocopter A Star and the Bell Long Ranger. These ships are two of the most reliable medium sized helicopters in the air today. There is no substitute for the experience level of our pilot and guides.
Every decision is thoughtfully and carefully considered.
The guides and guests work as a team, to communicate and watch out for each other. The staff trains rigorously in first aid and avalanche search and rescue should things go wrong. Remember, you are part of the team. You will be briefed on its use and given an opportunity to practice before venturing into the backcountry. This small electronic rescue beacon could save your life or allow you to save someone else's life should an avalanche accident occur.
