Coast Range Heli-Skiing operates from Whistler, British Columbia, offering helicopter-accessed winter and backcountry experiences focused on skiing, riding, and mountain biking. The company arranges private heli-skiing for groups of four in an Astar helicopter, guided runs into untouched alpine terrain, and seasonal bike drops to Hidden Peak. Trip offerings include a two-night backcountry yurt stay accessed by helicopter, Single's Sessions with a single-seat option for individual riders, Hidden Peak Bike Drops featuring 12 km of trails and roughly 1600 meters of elevation drop, and a Hidden Peak first-flight-of-the-day bike option.
Accommodation and trip formats vary by product. The Backcountry Yurt - Two Nights provides a secluded alpine yurt with private cooking and relaxation space and an outdoor patio for morning views. Single's Sessions allow self-driving or shuttle arrival and group flights that connect individual powder enthusiasts. Hidden Peak Bike Drop itineraries fly riders to high-elevation trailheads for diverse technical and flow sections over a sustained descent.
Private Heli-Skiing is offered in an Astar Helicopter configured for a group of four, giving guests access to remote peaks and fresh snowlines. Helicopter transport from Whistler is included in aerial products. Each trip summary communicates what to expect, including logistics, on-mountain features, and activity highlights to help guests select the right experience.
