Flyin logistics
Logistics: All winter trips to Icefall are fly in, fly out one week trips. We will meet at the Chatter Creek Staging area in Donald at 11 am on Saturday. This is 20 minutes west of Golden on the Trans Canada Highway. 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, not including skis. See the gear list for required items.
