The cheapest option is often to rent a car in Calgary, especially if you are traveling with 2 or more people.  If you would like to carpool with others in your group, please contact us or call us at (403) 678-0929 for an email list for your group.

If a large contingent of your group is arriving by air to Calgary, AB, we can help you arrange ground transportation from Calgary to Golden.  This works best if everybody stays at the same hotel, or meets at the same hotel in Calgary, and is ready to travel by 9:00 AM on Saturday morning.  If you would like to look in to this option, please contact us  or call us at (403) 678-0929.

Drivers should be at the Canadian Helicopters hanger (phone (250) 344-5311) at the Golden Municipal Airport no later than 10:00 AM Mountain Time on Saturday.

All winter trips to Icefall are fly in, fly out one week trips. We will meet at the Canadian Helicopters Hangar in Golden at 10 am on Saturday. There will be a helicopter safety briefing by the pilot and then 4 flights in. The flights are normally 15 minutes one way. Because space is limited on the helicopter, we limit your personal gear to 2 small packs (Less than 40 liters each). Do not bring large duffle bags or packs. Individual pack weight should not exceed 35 pounds (combined weight) including beverages. The total weight allowed in 4 flights is 4400 pounds. If an extra flight is required due to excess baggage or any other reason, you will be charged for it. See the gear list for required items.
