Home > Heli Skiing/Boarding > Snow and Weather Conditions

Records from the past years show that conditions are excellent 70%, good 25% and marginal 5% of the time. However, the weather does not follow a pattern, skiing conditions are unpredictable from one year to the next, from one month to the next ...

In the mountains, rapid and extreme changes are common. Snowfalls, wind, temperatures, sunshine, etc ... are continuously affecting the snow quality which may vary from deep bottomless powder to just a few centimetres of fresh and fluffy snow, to light wind packed or hard crust, to sun crust or corn snow.

On days of marginal weather, we ski in treed areas that provide fine visibility and great skiing/riding.

During our 5 month season, there are only a few days where bad weather prevents us from flying. On such days, our guests have the opportunity to visit and enjoy Golden's newest ski resort, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.
