Here you are introduced to your guide and group of similar ability and given a safety brief on avalanche transceivers, helicopter and mountain safety. Then you fly off to the first heli-ski run. Early afternoon all groups meet for an alpine buffet lunch with time to relax. The afternoon is back to the ultimate - more heli-ski runs.
