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.
Try out our chosen five great locations for Heli-skiing: The Monashees, British Columbia, Chugach, Alaska, The Andes, Chile, The Alps, Europe and Himalayas, India- for closer home.
Wear your love of skiing on your sleeve……..
Heli-Ski Jacket

Heli-ski Jacket… combines performance fabric with extra insulation for extra warmth. Performance fabric provides maximum protection and breathability and insulation for comfort and outstanding performance during severe conditions and high activity. Also, mechanical Venting for comfortable, dry, warm or cool depending on the conditions and activity.
Heli-Ski Boots
The hardest boots are designed for experienced sportsmen and good skiers. The softer boots are designed for beginners. A hard boot presents the option to bind the skier’s feet with skis and provides a counter weight to the pressures which occur during intensive, aggressive skiing, thereby making it easier to manage your skis.
