Packing & Gear

Packing for the Heli

• All luggage must be packed in small boxes/bags as we need to “tetris” everything into the compartments on the helicopter. 

  • Wine box size or smaller, squishable canvas duffels over stiff Rubbermaid bins.

• Two small bags are better then one large bag.

• Helmets need to be on heads or inside bags (not clipped dangling on the outside).

• Please empty water bottles before flying and condense other liquids to one bag/box, labelled with a blue flagging at staging.

• Ski Boots on feet or inside a bag. (Loose boots fill with snow!)

Helicopter Weight Limits & Extra Flights

If you think your group may have trouble meeting the helicopter weight requirements, there is an option to book an additional flight at a cost of $900

If you choose not to pay for an extra helicopter, please pack any non-essential or “extra” gear separately. In the event that your group exceeds the weight or size limit, these items can be left in your vehicle.

Custodians will weigh all gear on the morning of your flight.
