From City to Tyax in 200 Minutes
Tyax is one of the most easily accessed heliskiing operations in Canada.
With a short 2.5 to 3-hour ground transfer from downtown Vancouver or Vancouver International Airport (YVR), followed by a scenic 20-minute helicopter flight, you will arrive at Tyax Lodge with ease.
Arriving in the afternoon allows you to complete all safety briefings that same day, which means you start skiing first thing the next morning. And on departure day, you can enjoy a full morning of heliskiing and still make your evening flight home.
Here is what your schedule will look like on Arrival and Departure Days:
| Arrival Day | Departure Day |
|---|---|
| 09:00 - Pick-up at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) | 06:30 - Stretch Class |
| 09:30 - Pick-up downtown Vancouver | 07:00 - Breakfast |

| 15:00 - Orientation, Safety Meeting and Training | 13:00 - Heli-transfer departs for Pemberton |
| 19:00 - Dinner | 14:00 - Ground transfer departs for Whistler, downtown Vancouver and Vancouver International Airport (YVR). We strongly recommend staying the night in Vancouver before flying home. If you must fly out the same day, make sure to book flights well after 8pm. Note: weather and road conditions might delay your arrival back into Vancouver. |
