We work with several partners in the heli skiing industry to create the heli skiing vacation that fits you the best. When booking a heli skiing vacation there are several factors that you should take into consideration. We can help you figure it all out. The main factors that you will want to consider before you book your heli skiing vacation are:
1. The length of time that you want to go heli skiing for; 1 day, 3 day, 7 day and so on, almost anything is available although a lot of operators offer a minimum 3 day stay.
2. Cost: the cost of heli skiing varies substantially. Prices vary according to private or small group heli skiing, the number of days you are going for, lodging, access to the lodge, and the number of vertical feet.
3. Small Group versus Larger Group heli skiing: Many consider small group heli skiing the ultimate skiing vacation. The group usually consists of you, 3 friends and a guide. You can even have your own private helicopter so that it is waiting for you at the bottom of each run.
However for most people, specifically if you are an intermediate skier or slower advanced skier, large group heli skiing can offer more than enough vertical, the enjoyment of meeting others, is less expensive than small group heli skiing, and your still taking a helicopter up and skiing down in a pristine wilderness environment which is an amazing experience.
Once you have a general idea, or if you need some help then contact us. We will work with you and can potentially provide transportation and guided skiing to round out your winter vacation.
