Premier British Columbia ski resort joins more than 40,000 resort employees in North America and Europe

OSLO, Norway (November 25, 2014) — Helly Hansen announced today its new partnership with Panorama Mountain Resort, a premier ski and snowboard destination located on British Columbia’s Powder Highway. Beginning in November 2014, Helly Hansen, the leading global apparel provider for mountain sports professionals, will outfit the majority of Panorama’s guides, employees, and retail operations with outerwear, midlayers, baselayers, and accessories.


With the addition of Panorama to its family of resort and guide partners, Helly Hansen now outfits more than 40,000 mountain professionals at more than 70 resorts and guiding companies worldwide. As part of the agreement, Panorama will collaborate with Helly Hansen in the design and testing of future product lines and collaborate on marketing initiatives.

“We think of Panorama as being Pure Canada, and there’s no hiding the fact that a pure Canadian winter demands sturdy outdoor gear. Our resort has welcomed riders from around the world for more than 50 years and we’re excited to partner with Helly Hansen who are undoubtedly as passionate about the mountains as we are,” said Marke Dickson, director of sales and marketing for Panorama Mountain Resort.

“This winter Panorama plans to host huge new events. With the support of Helly Hansen we’ll be dry and warm, and the team will look great when out working in our element.”

Thanks to Helly Hansen’s partnership with premier resorts like the Panorama Mountain Resort, Helly Hansen is able to offer skiers and riders with 2-for-1 day passes at Panorama and select Canadian resorts with the purchase of a qualifying SKI FREE Helly Hansen ski jackets and pants.
