Did you heliski in 2014 and fulfil your Powder Dreams?
If not, there is still a slim chance to make it…

And – for those of you that are way ahead of the pack – now next season 2016 is open for booking too!

The snow conditions are often the best in the trees as the snow has more protection from the wind and sun than an exposed slope. Expert skiers will LOVE our mushrooms and pillow lines, and snowboarders and aggressive skiers will enjoy our natural half pipes.
Average Daily Vertical: More than 7000 meters.
Number of Runs per Day: The average group skis 8-12 runs a day.
Grouping: Small groups, with only 4 guests per group and per guide. Smallest group format in the industry.
