All Santiago Adventures heli skiing clients enjoy the benefits of the following safety measures:
1. A backpack with an M2 Ortovox beacon, shovel and probe are provided to each rider.
2. Every participant will participate in a security briefing on:

- For your safety our guide reserves the right to dismiss any skier or rider for failure to follow their instructions or if our guide determines the rider is unfit for the conditions.
- Each rider MUST read and sign our liability release waiver before participating in any heliskiing activity with Santiago Adventures.
