Heli Skiing or Heli Boarding is the ultimate experience for every serious skier and snowboarder. Heli Skiing / Boarding does not have to be restricted to just experienced snow users, with the recent introduction of fat skis, improved technology and equipment you don't have to be the hardcore, die-hard dedicated Snowsport enthusiast to enjoy effortless powder turns through untracked fresh snow that can last for miles over thousands of metres of vertical drop.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BOOK AN ENTIRE WEEK WITH A SPECIALIST TOUR OPERATOR NOT KNOWING WHAT THE WEATHER OR SNOW CONDITIONS WILL BE. YOU CAN SIMPLY MAKE A DAY TRIP WITH A HELICOPTER, ACCOMPANIED BY AN EXPERIENCED MOUNTAIN GUIDE, WHO WILL LEAD YOU THROUGH GLACIERS AND CANYONS FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE.

HELI-SKIING OPERATES EVERYDAY (WEATHER DEPENDING) FROM DECEMBER TO MAY. WE CAN CATER FOR SMALL GROUPS OF SKIERS AND SNOWBOARDERS - WE ARE DEDICATED TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF QUALITY, PROFESSIONALISM AND CUSTOMER CARE.

SNOW CONDITIONS WILL VARY, WITH POWDER PREDOMINANT FROM EARLY DECEMBER TO THE END OF FEBRUARY AND SPRING SNOW FROM MID-MARCH. HELICOPTER SKIING CAN INVOLVE CERTAIN HAZARDS INCLUDING AVALANCHES, CREVASSES AND SUDDEN WEATHER CHANGES. PROFESSIONAL MOUNTAIN GUIDES MANAGE THESE HAZARDS VERY EFFECTIVELY. WHITETRACKS ONLY USE UIAGM CERTIFIED MOUNTAIN GUIDES - THIS QUALIFICATION IS THE HIGHEST INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED QUALIFICATION FOR MOUNTAIN AND SKI GUIDING.

The Ultimate Experience for every serious skier and snowboarder. From Italy OR SWITZERLAND you and SMALL GROUP of your friends will be flown by helicopter and dropped at the top of a secluded mountain with a guide - just you, your friends and a deserted mountain.

Heliskiing requires of course a good physical fitness and a reasonable level of skiing to make the most of the day. All trips are made with a fully qualified high mountain guide who will choose the routes adapted to your level with safety being paramount at all times.

In order to paticipate in a Heli drop you will need to be of a high intermediate level. A good indicator for this level is about 6 weeks on snow with good off piste experience as well.

This above information is given on the understanding that it is used as a guidance note only. Individual skill levels can vary in accordance with time on snow and your 6 weeks experience still may not come up to the base skill level.
