First off, we couldn’t have pulled off such a great winter Heli-Ski season without our incredible team and the local community that supports us and has been involved in making the 2017 Winter season a huge success!
As always, we welcomed back many of our returning guests and enjoyed exploring some incredible new terrain between Queenstown, Wanaka and Mt Cook. Looking back, we think it's safe to say that the 2017 Heli-ski season was full of epic conditions, right up until Spring and some pretty cool stories to tell.
The season may have ended but we're already looking towards next winter with heaps of exciting plans, so watch this space - Until then though, here's a quick re-cap of our highlights...
We had some pretty cool guests...
Back in July, we took World Surf League Champ and all round nice guy, Barton Lynch and his family out on an unforgettable day in the Buchanan's where Barton's hype levels kept the team crushing during a bluebird powder day.
