British Columbia-based helicopter touring and heli-services company Blackcomb Helicopters is to be the helicopter provider for Coast Range Heli-Skiing, an independent and newly re-branded heli-skiing company in Whistler.

With a legacy spanning over 35 years of operating in Whistler, Blackcomb brings unmatched expertise, safety and a commitment to ensure safe and reliable mountain access across the breathtaking Coast Mountains.

Andy Meeker, a seasoned pilot with Blackcomb for 17 years, says: “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. 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.
