From experience, we have found it better to begin the day earlier and ski a majority of the runs in the first part of the day, this is due to several reasons, but the main reason is weather conditions, as its not windy in the morning hours and so we prefer to take advantage of those hours while we can, as its not unusual to get high winds in the afternoon and we can get shut down due to it, the other thing which can happen in the afternoon is the cumulous cloud build up can occur early, which could also shut us down due as you cannot fly in those conditions. The other thing is everyone is stronger and they ski better in the morning hours then the late afternoon hours, so in the end its a win win situation for all, as we can get all the runs committed too via this schedule. With this in mind, we have adapted to the schedule below.
Wake up 7:00 am with breakfast at 7:15 - after breakfast, pack all personal belonging's needed for the day. 8:00 am board helicopter and begin the day heliskiing.
At the bottom of each run we have a Sherpa serving tea, coffee, warm soup, biscuits, cold drinks, mineral water, and assorted snacks.
We will ski 4 to 6 runs per day. Knowing you have more energy in the morning, we will ski 4 to 5 runs in the morning and 1 or 2 runs in the afternoon, if we have predictable winds and early cumulous cloud build up, we will begin even earlier Also, later in our season it is not uncommon for it to get warm earlier in the day and also earlier cumulous cloud build up, thus we will begin skiing at 7 am so we can get in our quota of runs in the optimum snow conditions. We will ski 4 to 6 runs per day. Knowing you have more energy in the morning, we will ski 3 to 4 runs in the morning and 1 or 2 runs in the afternoon. Around 4:00 pm we will head back to our lodge. |
