About Us
If you've dreamt of going heli-skiing...
You're in the right place.
Beginnings
But first, let's rewind.

Today
And now?
The helicopters are a bit bigger. The lodges are more luxurious. We have 11 heli-ski destinations instead of one. But our vision is still the same:
We guide people on life-changing mountain experiences.
We remain the first and largest heli-skiing operation in the world, offering massive terrain, untouched snow and leading safety standards to guests from dozens of countries.

Terrain
Being first has its advantages
Being the first in our field means we had the best pick of skiable areas in the best regions of snow. Today, this amounts to a private claim to a massive 3,000,000+ acres of terrain, creating an experience that isn’t replicated anywhere else. This is winter at its best.
