Whistler Heli Biking Returns for Summer 2022 with Brand New Alpine Trail
@mountainsofsussex: We respect that, and if a company doesn't do their research and opts for the easy opportunity then we certainly agree that there are better alternatives for offsetting emissions. Blackcomb Helicopters has, and there is lots of information showing details of our initiative with respect to additionality and permanence with a reputable organization, the Nature Conservancy of Canada
We understand that we have a negative impact associated with the fuel burn of our helicopters but we make efforts where we can in other areas of the operation. All this aside, we appreciate the conversation taking place and learning from it.
Most importantly though, we hope to be able to share positive time spent in the backcountry with our guests this summer.

As a reference point, a single person driving their Toyota Tacoma round-trip from Vancouver to Whistler burns about .03 metric tons of CO2. Per person, this flight would burn about .02 tCO2e.

Blackcomb Helicopters has, and there is lots of information legitimizing their initiative with respect to additionality and permanence with a reputable organization.

Destination Showcase: Whistler, BC - The Perfect 4 Day Itinerary
Hi Pinkbike!
Just so you guys know, Blackcomb Helicopters is currently in the process of applying for tenure to operate a guided heli-biking service including the development and maintenance of sustainable mountain bike specific trails.
At this point we are only able to offer chartered flights to certain existing backcountry trails, where guests will be unguided and responsible for their own ride. Please stand by for updates on our existing application and the future of this program.
