Heli Accessed Touring
With a helicopter for access great ski touring is possible on Vancouver Island without a long slog from the valley taking up most of the trip. We know of some fine locations outside of Strathcona Park from which a quick (and cost effective) lift will whisk you into the alpine where the fun begins right away. Fly in early Saturday morning and enjoy a full day of exploring and skiing the slopes of the area. Overnight in a camp in the alpine is followed by another full day of skiing. Ultimately a long descent to waiting cars finishes the perfect Island Alps ski touring week-end. Alternatively use the heli for flights in and out and choose whether to make it a day trip or a longer outing. Locations include Alexandra Peak, Mount Adrian, Mount Matchlee and few secret locations known to our IAG guides.

Thanks for the great day, it was a life affirming trip with that "it's good to be alive" vibe. We really appreciated the professionalism of your pilot and of course your expertise on the mountain. I hope we all get a chance to travel in the wilderness again.Pete Postuk, Victoria, BC.
