A Whistler helicopter tour is the ideal way to get an aerial view of the beautiful Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. Take in the gorgeous scenery from high above the mountains, or even land on a glacier. Whistler helicopter tours are also the best way to go back country heli skiing. Imagine skiing on untracked powder across a variety of terrain ranging from beautifully forested tree runs to pristine glaciers. A number of companies operate Whistler heli tours. This gives visitors a variety of options when deciding which Whistler heli tour is the right choice.

Whistler heli tours are usually weather-permitting - that is, if the weather is unexpectedly bad, the tours won't operate. Fortunately, most companies offer a number of different tours every day, so if the weather is poor in the morning, it won't necessarily be that way by the afternoon. Similarly, back country heli skiing tours are always cognizant of the weather conditions. This is for the safety of their guests, as they best know the conditions of the mountain. Again though, most companies fortunately offer a number of different tours every day, and with back country heli skiing, they also offer a number of different places to do it. This means that if a particular part of the mountain is unavailable due to inclement weather, it's very possible that another part will be available for a Whistler heli tour.

Whistler heli tours are an unforgettable and wonderful experience. For visitors who want to get a better look of the beautiful scenery surrounding Whistler, without any of the crowds, there's no better way than a helicopter tour. For skiers of intermediate ability or better, there's nothing like the feeling of having a mountain or glacier all to themselves, or skiing with a group of friends or family and feeling as though it's exclusively their private mountain. Visitors to Whistler should consider a Whistler heli tour as part of their next stay at the resort.
