There is always some level of avalanche danger in the mountains in winter. This danger level changes constantly with changing snow and weather conditions. The guides monitor snow and weather conditions on a daily basis. The current risk of avalanche is always considered by the guides when choosing the runs to ski. Snow conditions on the mountains vary considerably over the course of the winter as the snow is subjected to sun, wind, temperature variation, and new snowfalls.
Snow conditions change almost every day.
We are fortunate to be in an area where generally there are frequent snowfalls that usually produce good powder snow conditions. Groups booked in the Bell 212 helicopters are either 10 or 11 passengers, depending upon their weight, plus the guide. The Bell 407 helicopter carries 5 passengers plus the guide. The helicopter lands at the tops of the heli-ski runs to allow all skiers to exit the helicopter, and to allow the guide to unload the skis, poles, and snowboards. If you are interested in doing several extra runs, please mention this when you make your reservation.
