Heli skiing with your Altus guide
Phantom Heli Skiing is our sister company, owned by Ross Berg. Same guides, same way of making decisions in the mountains. If you’ve skied or taken a course with Altus, a Phantom day is the same team with a helicopter.
You only pay if you fly
Most heli operations book you for set dates and fly if they can. Phantom works on a weather window instead. You give us a range of dates, we pick the best day in it, and you only pay if you fly.
Ross built Phantom this way on purpose. There’s no lodge full of guests waiting, so there’s no pressure on the guides to push marginal conditions. We fly less often than other heli operators, and we’re fine with that.
Where we fly
Phantom flies out of Squamish. The terrain runs west of the Sea to Sky Highway, from roughly halfway between Vancouver and Squamish up to Jervis Inlet. Private and semi-private groups can also start from our staging area, about 10 minutes from Whistler.
Add a warm-up touring day, 15% off
Book a ski touring day with an Altus guide before your heli day and take 15% off the touring day. Shake off the travel, get your legs under you, and ski with your guide before you fly.
