British Columbian helicopter touring and heli-services company Blackcomb Helicopters is proud to announce its partnership as the helicopter provider for Coast Range Heli-Skiing, an independent heli-skiing company newly re-branded with a fresh, authentic approach to heli-skiing in Whistler.
With a legacy spanning over 35 years' of operating in Whistler, Blackcomb Helicopters brings unmatched expertise, safety and a commitment to delivering exceptional experiences. Coast Range Heli-Skiing, dedicated to providing personalised, private heli-skiing adventures, has partnered with Blackcomb Helicopters to ensure safe and reliable mountain access across the breathtaking Coast Mountains.
Andy Meeker, a seasoned pilot with Blackcomb Helicopters for 17 years, shares his enthusiasm for the partnership: “I'm excited to see Coast Range Heli-Skiing back in action. It brings me back to the days of small groups and days with friends in the mountains; it's amazing to see that spirit making a comeback. I'll be one of your local pilots, and I can't wait to get out there with you all. We've got a mix of familiar faces and fresh talent, all with the same passion for what we do here. To everyone who's been in the Valley, you know who you are; come on out and join us for a season that's both nostalgic and totally new.”
Coast Range Heli-Skiing is set to start operating its season from 11 January 2025. Coast Range Heli-Skiing is a fresh take on a Whistler Heli-Skiing package; it takes everything clients expect from a heli-skiing day and amplifies it for a one-of-a-kind, personalised experience. This includes unlimited runs, small group sizes, expert local guides and all the equipment needed, including avalanche airbag packs for safety, concierge rentals from Black Tie Rentals and complimentary GoPro rentals to capture the day.
