OPERATING SEASON
Our season starts with snowcat skiing in mid-December as snow conditions allow. Helicopter skiing begins in late January to early February and ends in mid-April. Each month offers its own unique characteristics. Our guides' favorite for the best powder snow on all mountain aspects is from February to early March when the sun angle is lower and the temperatures are cooler. 
Daylight starts at 8 hours in late January and rapidly gains to 11 hours by the end of February, so there is no difficulty achieving maximum vertical due to daylight. The average temperature from February to mid-March is 20F (-7C). Occasionally, Arctic air can cause cold conditions but even in mid-winter, temperatures are rarely below zero (-17C). In March, there is a gain of nearly 6 minutes per day and as the days progress, daytime highs are typically in the 20's and 30's (-7C to -1C). 

We normally experience dry powder conditions on all but south facing slopes where good corn snow skiing can usually be found. By early April, daylight rapidly progresses to over 14 hours. During this period our guests ski the higher elevations for powder and on southerly aspects when corn snow conditions allow. 

No matter when you come to heli ski with us, you'll find lots of fun and the never-ending quest for powder!
