This single day package runs at a more rigorous pace allowing more advanced riders to maximize their vertical for a big day on the slopes. This program uses the Bell 205 helicopter which accommodates up to 10 guests plus 2 guides. One helicopter serves only two groups for this package, meaning less waiting and more shredding!
The 1 Day Adventure runs Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays with the potential to run more days a week depending on availability.
At 7:30 am, day skiers are required to register at our Guest Services Desk, located in the Retail Shop on the lower level of the Hillcrest Hotel. Guests will be required to fill out a release of liability waiver and check in with our ski technicians for high performance rentals. The morning also includes breakfast and safety training prior to boarding the helicopter. We break up the ski day with a delicious lunch in the mountains and end the day right with après snacks and beverages back at the Hillcrest Hotel.
On the evening before your heli day, stop by our Retail Shop (lower level of Hillcrest Hotel) before 6:30pm to be ahead of the game! Register, fill out a waiver, and select skis or a snowboard to use. If you’re unable to make it the night before, please arrive at 7:30am on the morning of your ski day to get organized.
