CRH Typical Day

Heli Boarding, Whistler

At CRH, no two days are ever the same! We've got the ultimate combination of rugged mountain terrain and exclusive small groups to suit each guests' needs.

Our day begins each morning in Whistler. Typically we meet in the lower lobby of the Westin Resort & Spa.


* We meet at 7.30 or 7.45am depending on the location of your accommodations
* The CRH Shuttle departs at 8.00am
* We arrive at the CRH base facility in Pemberton at 8.25am
* And return to Whistler usually by 4.30pm

Upon arrival at our base facility you will be welcomed by our friendly staff with hot coffee and a light continental breakfast. You will be fitted with powder skis (if required), and complete the required paperwork.


Next, we divide into groups of four or five based on skill level or specific request. You will complete a comprehensive safety briefing with your guide which includes a personal transceiver orientation. After mastering the use of your personal transceiver you will be introduced to your pilot who will take you through the helicopter safety orientation. Lift off is approximately 10.00am. Typically we complete 2 or 3 runs prior to lunch which is served in the alpine amidst the snow capped mountains and beautiful frozen lakes.  After lunch, you are refueled and ready for more powder turns in the pristine alpine.

No ski day is complete with out a proper après! Once you've finished skiing for the day we'll return to our heli-base for a few bevies on us, giving you a chance to look through photos and video from the day. At approximately 4:00pm we'll board the shuttle and make our way back to Whistler.

On our Discovery Package you will enjoy 4 runs
With our Powder Hound Package you get 6 runs
**Additional runs are available at $95 per person, based on a group of 4.
**On our Private Elite Package we will pick you up at your hotel or
accommodation with a private shuttle.

Whichever package you choose you are sure to return to Whistler with a BIG BIG smile on your face!
