Heli-Skiing

An Introduction to Heli Skiing

For many first timers the words “heli skiing” evoke images of extreme athletes leaping out of helicopters on to near-vertical slopes. That doesn’t happen. Think of a helicopter as the cable car of your dreams – safe and comfortable yet capable of reaching peaks far beyond the resort crowds in search of untracked snow. d

Is Heli Skiing Extreme?

Contrary to many people’s perception, most heli skiing trips that we organise are not extreme skiing (or the stuff you see in the movies), but regular gradient skiing similar to what you would find on a red run in a resort. The difference being, with heli skiing, you’ll be enjoying run after run of fresh powder snow.

How Good Do I Need to Be?

Another misconception many people have is that you have to be an expert skier to enjoy heli skiing. Not true! If you are a strong piste skier and want to ski powder snow then you are ready for heli skiing.
