• You must check in before 4:00 pm the day before you fly and preferably as soon as you arrive in Whistler. Your seat may be forfeited if you have not checked in by 6:00 PM on the day prior to your ski day.

At that time you will be required to sign a release of liability waiver. All members of your party who are heli-skiing must be present to sign their waiver.* You may also arrange your rental powder skis or snowboard, if required, at this time.
