When it comes to group size, there is no denying that small is better. More space for turns, groups that are better matched in ability and fitness and the chances of being slowed down (or rushed) by other members of the crew is significantly reduced. Even if your own group is bigger than 4, splitting into 2 groups to ski lines before meeting up between runs is often better.
On the other hand, big is most definitely better when it comes to terrain, tenure, trees, vertical and snowfall. Over 500,000 acres to ski and snowboard, terrain from glaciated to old-growth rainforest and an enviable snow record make Revelstoke one of the best heliskiing and heliboarding destinations anywhere on earth.
A-Star B2 helicopters are used to explore the Selkirk Tangiers tenure with a maximum of 3 groups of 4 + 1 guide per helicopter.
