MedEvac Flights from Ski Accidents in Whistler, Whitewater, Revelstoke and Panorama Mountain in British Columbia

Skiing and snowboarding are some of the best ways to enjoy the winter, but occasionally, accidents happen that require medical evacuation flights. Air Ambulance Worldwide can help arrange MedEvac flights from nearly anywhere in BC to nearly anywhere in the world.

Commonly, ski accident MedEvac flights are used to get patients who have been stabilized post-accident home, to rehab centers, or to higher levels of care as needed. Air Ambulance Worldwide has extensive experience in coordinating with medical centers to arrange medical evacuations.

Our medical team accompanies the patient on a specifically arranged private jet medical flight to take the patient as directly as possible from the ski accident treatment center to the longer-term or closer-to-home facility. Our medical team has ER, ICU and/or CCU experience, and further has experience with trauma, orthopedics and neurology to ensure the safest, fastest transfer possible.

How long does it take to get a MedEvac flight home after a ski accident?

At Air Ambulance Worldwide, we can begin the process of a MedEvac flight as soon as you call us, with some flights able to be arranged within just a few hours. We can almost always arrange a flight nearly anywhere in the world to take off within 24 hours.

Can you arrange a MedEvac flight from any ski resort in British Columbia?

Yes! We are able to work with local medical facilities in order to arrange MedEvac flights from anywhere in British Columbia. Typically, after a ski or snowboarding accident, the patient will be initially stabilized at a local hospital, and then a MedEvac flight will be arranged if needed. Thus, we don’t typically work directly with the ski resorts themselves but with the local hospitals.

How much do MedEvac flights cost after ski or snowboarding accidents?

Each medical flight is individually quoted based on the specific needs of the patient. The distance to be traveled and the level of care needed are the big determinants of price. Generally, one person can accompany the patient on the flight at no additional cost.

Flights from Whistler to Seattle with a stable patient who perhaps has a broken hip will be cheaper than flights from Revelstoke to New York City with a patient who needs ICU-level care.

Our medical flight specialists are available to help you 24/7, so give us a call to get a quote for the medical flight you need.
