The Sea 2 Sky Corridor encompasses all riders from Vancouver to Squamish, To Whistler to Pemberton and a bit beyond that as any fly outs are one by blakcomb aviation which has bases in Squamish, Whistler(main base) and Pemberton.

And yes it is Ski-Doo Country up here for riding and sled skiing.

Are you saying there are places up there you can still go ride if you fly in?

There used to be a company called Whistler Heli-sledder that would fly you on to the icecap in the middle of summer. Dave Mills (owner) would keep his sleds in there in a couple of truck containers and he had a Avion (similar to airstream) trailer sitting on top of the containers. The trailer is still there but I do not believe he does it anymore. If you can get to the snow, you can still ride.

Here is the location: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Pe...40dcf8784c7a66f!8m2!3d50.366667!4d-123.366667

Yes and Headline Holidays flies up the ice cap now, however right now is not the most ideal time, the ice cap is melting and every year it gets more dangerous. A moulin opened up this year which is over 100 ft deep, a guy died riding into it late in the year and it will be bigger this year. You can see it till your right there, in fact this guy knew it was there and still managed to ride into it. The ice cap is a very dangerous place to be although many don't really know it is. Lots of places in BC that you can fly into, just how much you want to spend.

I think I've heard that statement for the last 5 years. Funny there still going.


They were in much better shape five years ago than now. AC no longer has the volume to cover their fixed costs, the dealer network depth, or the brand power that they had as recently as 2011. Screwed up top mgt leadership team, and have been replaced by new outsiders. The Y deal has been their lifeline. Math is math, they are losing operating cash now, and spent a boatload of their bank the past five years buying back their stock to pump up the price. Somethings gotta give, and will. Either they catch fire and stay solvent with the current product in the pipeline, or they will end up on someone else's balance sheet, and AC will just be a brand. They are out of do-overs with leaders. Waited too long to relo their headquarters to the Minnieapple. Hope they make it.

I hope they make it to. I had no idea you were the CEO. Fingers crossed.
