How heli-ski works
FROM QUEENSTOWN OR WĀNAKA:
We check the weather early in the morning and contact you to confirm the heli-ski trip is on and set a meeting or pick up time. You will make your way to our staging area via your own transport or from our pick up locations. You’ll be introduced to your pilot, guide and fellow heli-skiers.
You’ll be given a safety briefing that will cover avalanche transceivers, helicopter and mountain safety. Then, you’ll fly off to the day’s first heli-ski run.
All heli-ski groups meet together for an alpine picnic lunch to relax and talk about the morning’s action. Following some downtime, it’s back to the ultimate ski experience – more heli-ski runs to fi nish your perfect day in the mountains.
At the conclusion of the day, we take you back to the staging area, where you can make your way back to your accommodation.
What's included in the heli-ski package?
- Fully qualified, certified mountain specialist heli-ski guide
- Guide-to-guest ratio of 1:4-5
