Coming to ski or ride in the Chilkat Range is serious backcountry travel. Conditions can change quickly, and having the right equipment set up properly is a big part of staying safe and enjoying your trip. Below is an overview of the gear we require and what we recommend you bring to make the most of your heli skiing experience with SEABA.
— Avalanche Airbag Backpack
— Beacon
— Rescue Snow Shovel
— Probe
— Climbing Harness
— Powder Skis (>110mm) or Snowboard
— Ski Strap (provided)
— Helmet (not provided)
The above gear is included in our all inclusive heli skiing packages. However, SEABA recommends bringing your own gear that you are familiar operating. Using gear you already know will make you more efficient in the field and during safety drills.
Also note that we can fill your BCA tanks and have ABS tanks for sale (pay if deployed).

In addition to the required gear and your normal ski or snowboard kit, these items will make your trip more enjoyable. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with questions about the particulars!
