Do you have questions about heliskiing? Look no further; we are here to answer all of your heliski FAQs Whether you’re a first-timer or check off 100,000 vertical meters a season, there’s a lot to consider when planning a heliski trip. If you’re wondering about something that isn’t addressed here, give us a call — we’re always happy to talk about any aspect of what we do.
You’ve made a wise choice to come heliskiing with us. Now it’s time to get ready. You’ll be clocking over 4,500 vertical meters a day for four or more days straight so it’s important you’re in good physical shape. Simply put, the fitter you are the more you’ll enjoy the experience. We recommend a conditioning program to help you elevate your strength and endurance. If you’re unable to keep up with your group, you may be asked to sit out and will not be reimbursed for any missed heli time.
Plan to bring your personal ski or snowboard gear including outerwear and boots. You’ll want comfortable evening attire, plus a bathing suit (unless you are Swedish) for the hot tub. We have a small gift shop stocking ski essentials such as gloves, hats, layers, goggles and light jackets, plus must-have souvenirs and accessories. Visa, Mastercard and American Express are accepted.
