WB Purchases Whistler Heli Ski
September 11, 2006
Ok, is 785 square miles of skiing enough for you? Or would you prefer 502, 171 acres. They are the same silly! And are now under one umbrella - Whistler Blackcomb. Why do I care you ask?
Whistler Blackcomb has purchased Whistler Heli-Ski. This union has, in effect, brought the terrain that Whistler Heli-Ski was using into the 'skiable terrain' of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains.
Now, your ski pass is not going to get you into the helicopter. But it could help save you. Some of the most experienced mountain guides and ski patrollers in the business will now share years of snow data collection and snow study. Savy?
So, does this change anything for loyal customers of Whistler Heli-Skiing? Not in the short term. The 25 year-old heli-ski company, the only one based in Whistler Resort, will still operate as Whistler Heli-Skiing, and will be a wholly owned subsidiary company of Whistler Blackcomb.
Ciao for now.
