Meet the owner
Eric’s background is in the guiding industry. He is an Association of Canadian Mountain Guides certified Ski Guide with over 18 years heli-ski and ski-mountaineering experience. Before that he was a Pro Ski Patrol on Whistler Mountain for 11 seasons and had a summer river guiding business. Eric always wanted to fly helicopters and heli-ski guiding fuelled the dream. In 2006 Eric started his aviation training. He simultaneously learned how to fly helicopters with Chinook Helicopters in Abbotsford BC, and gliders with Pemberton Soaring Adventures in his home town. Over eighteen years later he is now a mountain flying specialist with over 9000 hours experience.
“Kokanee Soaring Adventures is born of this motivation and dream. With minimal engine assistance used the Diamond HK36 climbs to altitude. The engine is turned off and the high aspect ratio glider wings carry the pilot and passenger. Soaring is the sport of seeking thermal lift and delighting in the natural air currents. Gliding and soaring is a pure gravity sport.” – KS Website
