Heliskiing

Heli - Ski and Boarding

Heli-skiing offers some of the most thrilling experiences anywhere...
The steep, varied terrain of the Alps can offer nearly just about any snow condition from waist deep powder to perfect spring corn. The drop zones bring you into the very heart of big glacier capped mountains.

My heli-ski and heli-board programs are targeted towards expert skiers and boarders. I have carefully selected the locations to offer diverse scenery and terrain. The possibilities are nearly endless. Most of the skiing/boarding is on moderate to steep terrain. The average amount of vertical meters skied per day is approx. 4.000m (about 13,000').

Why my programs stand out:

  • Option of skiing after the heli flights at a nearby resort.
  • Small group size (maximum of 6 per guide), which ensures safe skiing and evenly matched group levels.
  • I will pick the terrain in accordance with the group level and current snow/weather conditions.
  • You have the option of using state of the art use wide skis and boards which will require not only less effort but are much more exciting to ride = ride more, have more fun!
  • There are no limits to what can be done. The only limits are the ones you set yourself.
  • All programs can include transportation to and from Chamonix.
  • Any of the following programs can be customized to suit your needs, just ask.

* Actual course details and climbs may vary depending on conditions and or participants level.
