Mix of bootpacking and Heli, but the super remote ones like when they had it on the backside of Revelstoke they had to boot to the top, but got heli'd back to civilization after their runs. Depends how much of a bitch it is and probably the budget of that stop.

Totally outsider opinion- they walk to most of them

Revelstoke was a bootpack. I think Tanner mentionned that on the low pressure podcast. Gotta give these guys more props.

They fly like birds is my guess. Snowmobiled and helicopters are pretty outdated

Someday in the not too far future, tiny passenger drones may be a viable option to back country access
