The Ice Cap

The Pemberton Ice Fields extend over 95,000 acres and reach elevations of over 8,000 feet.

Whistler Helisledder’s massive 25,000 acre operating area is located on the Pemberton Ice Cap, the first major ice field in a series that extend north to Alaska. Our glacier base camp located at 6500 feet is a 15 minute helicopter ride from the Resort Municipality of Whistler, B.C. Whistler HeliSledder is the only touring company to have exclusive access to the massive snowfields of the Pemberton Ice cap
