Our excellent team of guides exemplify the perfect balance between professional qualification and enthusiastic personality.

Our heli-ski guides have achieved their professional status through a variety of routes, including courses with the Canadian Avalanche Association and certification from the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides, the Union Internationale des Associations de Guides de Montagne, the Austrian Ski Guide Program, the Canadian Ski Guide Association, and the BC Helicopter Ski Operators Association.

All guides must take avalanche courses; first aid certification; mountaineering, rope handling and rescue courses; and participate in the annual in-house training with Whistler Heli-Skiing. The guides have had many years of in-field experience. Within the guide staff we have guides who speak English, German, French, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, and Dutch.
