Ultimately it’s a Leap of Faith and a Cool Rush

Adrenalin racing? Yes.  Anxious? Yes.  Difficult? At times.  And safe? YES


There's a little-known truth about heli-skiing, kept secret by those that have a vested interest in keeping an age old myth alive.

Anyone can do it. You don't have to be the extreme, off-the-grid style skier or boarder that heli-skiers and boarders want you to think they are. Nor do you have to jump 10 feet out of a hovering chopper with your skis and snowboard strapped on and take off down the mountain a la James Bond (though you'd get kudos if you did).

The adrenaline rush produced by the loud whomp whomp reverberations of the helicopter as it manoeuvres to come into land just metres away is WOW..... Then hooning through the fluffiest, lightest untracked snow - all the way down Whoop and holler as much as possible! This will help you relax. Remember to Have fun. It is challenging and exciting and very addictive.

Yet all of uncertainties are groundless. Even the plunging temperatures are manageable, for up high on the peaks the temperature is far warmer, at minus eight degrees.
