HELICAT CANADA JOINS SOTS AS A PROVINCIAL SPONSOR!

We’re thrilled to announce that Helicat Canada has come on board as a provincial sponsor for the 2025/26 season!

Helicat Canada is the voice of Canada’s heli- and cat-skiing industry — representing operators who share a deep respect for the mountains, a commitment to safety, and a passion for creating unforgettable experiences in the backcountry. Their mission to promote responsible, sustainable mountain recreation aligns perfectly with SOTS’s own goal: to make sure more people come home safely from their time in the mountains.

This partnership is about more than sponsorship — it’s about values. Both SOTS and Helicat Canada believe that public safety, professional knowledge, and community connection are the foundation of a strong backcountry culture. By supporting SOTS, Helicat Canada is directly helping us expand our outreach across BC and beyond, empowering mountain communities with the knowledge and resources they need.

“HeliCat Canada supports important and relevant projects through a guest-funded initiative, the “HCC Futures Fund”. We’re pleased to support SOTS because of its human and community impact. Avalanches are a concern for us all and the question is not just “what can we do” but “what else can we do”?” - Mike Sadan, Development & Research Manager, HeliCat Canada

We’re deeply grateful for Helicat Canada’s support, and we look forward to working together this season to build a stronger, safer backcountry community.
