WB just purchased the local heliski company. Apparently we now have 500,000 skiable acres. :wacko2:

It would be interesting to see where the heliski terrain is so we can see if they would be able to install lifts... Aussierob, do you know if this terrain is directly connected to Whistler-Blackcomb?

Whistler Heliski have tenures close by but not adjoining the ski area. Even if they were adjoining, they would be unuseable as they are in Garibaldi Provincial Park.
