QUEENSTOWN HELI-SKIING
HELI-SKIING EVER BEEN HELI-SKIING?
How does the heli-ski day work?
It’s the ultimate snow experience for a skier or boarder. Imagine: you are standing in the middle of an untouched powderkissed paradise. You click in your bindings, take a deep breath of pure mountain air and contemplate the majesty of your surroundings. You push off and glide into exhilaration. Powder flies, adrenaline pumps and you soon become a tiny figure amongst the immense silence of the mountain world. At the bottom the helicopter awaits to lift you effortlessly to the top of another peak. Your guide will lead you to the day’s best snow conditions. At lunchtime, indulge in a gourmet picnic with an unbeatable view then it’s time to do it all again. This is Harris Mountains Heli-Skiing, the perfect escape from the everyday and the perfect way to recharge your senses.
SIMPLE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
How well do I have to ski to go heli-skiing?
Ideally, you are a strong intermediate skier/boarder or better, with a sense of adventure. ‘Strong intermediate’ means you can easily ski all the blue runs at your home ski field, and can generally ski the black runs, even if you find them challenging. Harris Mountains Heli-Ski has exclusive access to a wide range of terrain, from easy rolling slopes to challenging chutes and steep valleys for the more experienced.
Experience 4 Run Day Classic 7 Run Day
After an early morning weather check, we collect you from your accommodation and take you to the staging area. Start with a safety briefing covering avalanche transceivers, helicopter and mountain safety, before flying off to the first heli-ski run. All groups meet for an alpine buffet lunch with time to relax. The afternoon is back to the ultimate - more heli-ski runs.
Do I need powder skis?
Wide-body powder skis or all-mountain skis are the preferred choice for heli-skiing. This style of ski allows you to handle a wide range of snow conditions, faster, easier and with more stability. All of our guides use these and they’re wonderful for those wanting to go longer and harder in more advanced terrain.
our Head Guide will evaluate the snow and weather information and decide if conditions are suitable for heli-skiing to operate. Date change or a full refund will be provided in the event of adverse weather conditions prevent flying on the day.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE HELI-SKI DAY? • F ully qualified, certified mountain specialist heli-ski Guide (guest ratio of 1: 4-5)
• Alpine buffet lunch • Use of transceivers including training • All transfers from accommodation to heli-staging areas and return
• Video services on request (costs apply)
How long are the runs?
Run length varies depending on the terrain and snow conditions, from 600 vertical metres to as much as 1300 vertical metres of skiing. On average, the run length ranges from 800-1000 vertical metres.
What do I need to bring? You will need to bring your own ski/board or your hire equipment. You must have warm clothing and safety equipment – a windproof jacket and pants, warm gloves, snow-quality sunglasses/goggles, a helmet and sunscreen
How does the weather affect heli-skiing? Mountain weather can be harsh and unpredictable. Early in the morning,
Ex Queenstown or Wanaka
For all abilities the Experience 4 is the perfect day out for those wanting to take a relaxed approach to the heli-ski day to really enjoy the experience of being out in the mountain environment.
Ex Queenstown or Wanaka
Our most popular option for boarders and skiers alike from intermediate to expert ability. With more runs and a faster pace, this is undoubtedly a full day of untracked pleasure!
