Terrain, ability and who it is for
- If you are an advanced intermediate skier or better and confident in off-piste/powder snow conditions, physically fit with a good attitude and a keen sense of adventure, you are definitely a good candidate for a heli skiing trip with Tyax.
- Neither fully gnarly or novice, we ride the line between both. Yes, our terrain can challenge any skier or snowboarder if the desire to shred is there, but there are also options for those who steer clear of steep and deep.
- Tyax offers 375 mapped runs, running the gambit of wide-open bowls to tree skiing, all in some of the best snow British Columbia has to offer.
- One group, one helicopter. 6 to 9 guests, 2 guides for extra safety, and 0 waiting around.
- Sport
- Ski + Snowboard
