Heliskiing is by far not as extreme as some might believe. Each year we have many happy clients who are pleasantly surprised how easy it was. "It's much easier than I thought"! Especially women have said this a lot. It is much more important to be in good physical condition, than it is to be a great skier. Skiing technique is easily learned. After all, our guides are also ski instructors! In addition, the new fat skis are super easy to use in powder snow. In order to be in good physical condition, one does not have to ski all winter. Any well designed fitness program will do the trick. Cycling, jogging, rowing, power yoga, cross country skiing, all those and many other sports will improve your fitness level.

Should you be over 60 years of age we have 7 more reasons why you should come and heliski with us in Atlin.

1. Each year we have clients who ski with us while over 60 or 70 years of age. They have all had a blast.

2. One of the owners of Klondike Heliskiing and an experienced mountain guide, Leo Steiner, is over 70 years old and still guides his clients down beautiful powder slopes.

3. Not only people over 60 want to take it easy during their holidays. Many people want to leave the stress of their work life behind and enjoy a fun week with “time to smell the roses”. If Klondike Heliskiing is made aware of this before the start of the week, we can organize groups according to their preferences.

4. Since our groups are very small (only 5 guests per group) we are very flexible, when it comes to grouping clients with similar goals together.

5. If one group agrees to start later in the morning or finish earlier in the afternoon we will try to accommodate this request.

6. Depending on the wishes of our clients, we can ski a little slower or stop more often – easy to do if there are only 5 skiers per group. And there is always time for instruction ...

7. Seniors are not the only ones, who go heliskiing in order to enjoy the powder and the wonderful surrounding mountains. Some people have already discovered at a younger age that life is not all about collecting records. For them, quality is more important than quantity.
