Now just imagine this. A pristine, untouched mountain wilderness. Perfect powder. Crisp, clear alpine air. And only your small group of companions to remind you of civilisation. As far as the eye can see, nothing but snow capped peaks and endless runs. This is New Zealand heli skiing.

Are you ready? Snap in to your bindings, breath the air (said to be some of the purest on earth), soak up the view, then push off. Your adrenalin builds as you realise just how small you are in this massive expanse of powder. Left, right, left……and you can’t believe these amazing conditions. Before you know it you are at the base of your run. Your helicopter awaits to take you back to the top so that you can do it all over again. And again.

Time flies and before you know it, a gourmet lunch awaits. Eat, refresh and then back to the top to relive what you will remember as one of the greatest experiences of your life.

And that’s what heli skiing is all about. Perfect conditions and an escape from the mundane.

Are you a first time heli skier, or a max vert expert? It doesn’t matter, because New Zealand heli skiing operators will take you to a perfect location. From Queenstown and Wanaka to Mt Cook, they know the very best locations.
