2010 Photo Competition Winner

October 13th, 2010

A few weeks back, as the winter season began to wind down (but the fresh snow kept coming), we launched a photo competition on our Facebook page and we were inundated with fantastic entries! It’s been awesome to see all the great photos you’ve taken throughout the season on your heli ski day with us, we miss all your smiling faces already. We let our Facebook fans decide which photo deserved to win and here it is. DRUM ROLL…

The winning photo, taken by Greg Doyle on a super sunny powder day in New Zealand’s Southern Alps backcountry and shows our guide Whitney putting in some fresh turns. Good work Greg, the shot is fantastic!

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you all – it’s been an incredible season and we’ve enjoyed every minute of it, not to mention every powder turn, and we’re pretty sure you did too! Whether you are a regular heli skier / snowboarder or winter 2010 was your first time, we hope to see you all back next year for some more good times on snow. Don’t forget, you can still keep in touch and up to date with us on Facebook and Twitter during the off season. Keep posting and sharing your photos and videos, we love seeing them and getting amped on winter, even during summer. Thanks everyone and see you next year!

We’ve seen a lot of smiling faces over the last few weeks and it’s not too surprising considering all the awesome powder we’ve had! With feedback like this coming in – “We went out with your crew last Thursday and it was the best day of riding I’ve ever had.  We felt like we won the lottery, a bluebird day, tonnes of powder and an awesome guide.” – we know we must be doing something right!

We received some fantastic feedback from David, a client from Australia, who flew with us recently and thought we would share his great photos and comments with you right here on our blog. Thanks David!

Loving every minute of it! (David pictured in the middle)

Super sweet fresh lines!

Big smiles all round and powder friends for life!

Here’s what David had to say about his heli experience with us:

Thanks very much for a great day I’ll never forget. What an experience! It was a real adventure. I felt like I was in good hands and was confident making the plunge.”

Service – Impeccable. Safety – Careful, thorough, expert and reassuring. Fun – You bet. Patience – Appreciated and given freely. Lunch – Fantastic and desperately needed. Extra Run – The best one of the day. Excitement – Couldn’t sleep for 24 hours afterwards… too pumped.”

What can we say?! A day of heliskiing or heliboarding with us is definitely one you won’t forget in a hurry! We love hearing all your feedback and memories of your day, so keep it coming. You can keep in touch with Harris Mountains Heli-Ski at our Facebook page and post plenty of feedback and photos up there too!
