HELISKI AND SURF TRIPS · SINCE 2013

Heliskiing

We've been running heliski and surf trips since 2013: Baikal, Kamchatka, Krasnaya Polyana, Arkhyz, Chile, Georgia, India, Canada, Alaska — and surf trips in summer. When the snow ends in one hemisphere, we fly to the other.

What we hear most from first-timers before a trip:

"Heliskiing is for pros —
I'm not ready yet"

Heliskiing has a reputation for being difficult and extreme — that's a common misconception. In practice heliskiing is easier than resort freeriding on chopped-up snow: we fly to untracked snow, and it forgives mistakes.

With a helicopter we are not tied to lifts or set routes: the guide picks the drop-off and pick-up for the group's level and makes the route easier or more challenging. On any day there's an option that works both for a strong rider and for someone in their second season off-piste.

A little off-piste experience in soft snow is enough.
