International Arrival to Canada

• Please be sure to pack your ski/board boots as carry-on luggage. In the event of lost luggage, we can always assist you with locating other outerwear, but happy feet make happy heliskiers !!
• Please insure that you have all the necessary documentation.
  

Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to Downtown Vancouver

• Budget approximately CAD $35 per taxi.
• Upon request, TLH can pre-book a limousine for your Vancouver transfers.

Pre and Post heliskiing hotels in Vancouver

• ALL guests are strongly encouraged to book a pre-heliskiing night at one of our recommended Vancouver hotels. This ensures that you are on our schedule and therefore our responsibility.
• Choose your post heliskiing hotel room based on your travel plans, either downtown at the Fairmont Waterfront or at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel.

Departure from Vancouver to TLH Heliskiing

By Bus

• Clients are required to meet in the lobby of the Pan Pacific Hotel at 08h30 for an 08h45 departure
• Travel time to lodge is approximately 6hrs with a couple of stops for leg stretching and refreshments.

By Helicopter (Friday only)

• Clients are required to meet in the lobby of the Pan Pacific Hotel at 08h30 for an 08h45 departure (your bags will go to the lodge by bus)
• Guests will be informed if weather will permit the heli-transfer or whether we will be transferring via bus due to poor weather
• Travel time to lodge: 1 hour
  

• Upon arrival at the lodge, you will attend an informal welcome session to meet the TLH crew and to run through the daily schedule. At this time we will also explain our liability waiver form which ALL guests must sign prior to skiing or boarding with us.

• On your first day, your guide will instruct you on the use and care of the electronic Avalanche Transceiver. Everyone has an opportunity to practice several searches. Afterwards, you meet your pilot at the helicopter and go through a helicopter safety briefing. The first groups in each helicopter depart the lodge daily at 09h15.
• Mini water bottles are provided in each helicopter. If you have a personal water bottle or hydration device, we encourage you to bring it. Lots of vertical makes for thirsty skiers and boarders.

• On average we experience one-half down day per week.
• Down day activities include snow shoeing, XC skiing, board games, fitness room facilities, massage services or any relaxing activity that works best for you.

• A buffet breakfast is served daily at 07h30. One of our guides informs you of the day's weather forecast, snow conditions and specific departure times for each group.
• Lunch is a relaxed outdoor picnic-style affair in the mountains. Enjoy a hearty lunch of home-made soup, sandwiches and dessert, accompanied by hot and cold drinks.
• Join your guides, group or new friends at 19h00 in the dining room for dinner.

• We ask that ALL guests have their bags packed and to be checked out of their rooms in the morning before you depart for your last day of skiing or boarding. Upon your return from skiing there's plenty of time to shower and change into your travelling clothes.

• We strongly encourage our clients to follow our itinerary and to book their international flights departing Vancouver the day after their trip ends. Your heli-ski experience will be maximized with this program.
• Arrangements can be made for clients to connect with international flights on Friday evenings after 18h00. In this case, we cannot guarantee the chance to ski on Friday morning and additional charges will apply.
• TLH can pre-book a limousine for your transfer to the airport.
