Your Heli-Skiing Adventure: A Step-by-Step Guide

Get ready for an unforgettable experience! Here’s how we’ll make your day on the slopes an unforgettable one:

We’ll start early, monitoring the weather conditions and contacting you to confirm the trip and set the meeting or pickup time.

Make your way to our designated staging area, either by driving yourself or using our pickup locations. There, you’ll meet your pilot, guide, and fellow heli-skiers.

Before we hit the skies, you’ll receive a comprehensive safety briefing covering essential topics such as avalanche transceivers, helicopter and mountain safety. Then, we’ll take off to our first heli-ski run, getting you straight into the action.

We’ll take a break for a picnic lunch, where you can mingle with your fellow heli-skiers and share stories about the morning’s adventure.

After lunch, we’ll head back to the slopes for more thrilling heli-ski runs, ensuring an unforgettable experience.

As the day winds down, we’ll return to the staging area and bid you farewell. From there, you can head back to your accommodation to rest or change before enjoying the vibrant après-ski scene in Queenstown or Wanaka.

To book, choose the number of runs each participant would like to complete. Each addition represents another participant.
