Heliskiing....

Helicopter skiing takes us into high mountain ranges. You can therefore experience (sometimes even on the same day) excellent powder, breakable crust, or corn snow. Statistically, we ski good to excellent snow 75% of the time. In general expect powder from July to early September and spring snow from September to early November. Because New Zealand has a maritime climate with very high mountains close to the sea, the weather is unpredictable so you may not be able to ski at all, particularly if you have a tight itinerary. Flexibility is the key to getting the best heliskiing.

Skiers and boarders should report to our base at the Old Mountaineers Cafe at Aoraki Mt Cook. Here, skiers and boarders 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.
