YOU CAN HELISKI!
Our guides are happy to help improve your skiing or boarding standard, and can offer tips on soft snow technique which even expert piste skiers will find valuable. Standard downhill carver skis and boards are used. Warm, windproof clothing, with good gloves, sunglasses and hat are essential. You ski or board in a very high alpine region, so warm clothing is of prime importance.
If you can ski, you can heli-ski Ideally if you are a strong intermediate skier/boarder or better, with a sense of adventure this is recommended. We have exclusive access to extensive terrain in around the Mount Cook area. Easy rolling terrain for powder first timers, wide open bowls and challenging chutes with steep valleys for the more experienced. You'll be part of a small group of led by a guide who is committed to your safety and enjoyment of this alpine environment.
Skiers and boarders should report to our base at the Old Mountaineers Cafe at Aoraki Mt Cook. From here you will receive a full safety briefing on all aspects of the day's operation. The Heliski Director then divides people into small, compatible groups, before flying into the day's first run. Each group is led by their own professional guide during the day.

NOTE: Bookings & confirmations are essential.
