Heliskiing & Heliboarding in New Zealand's Southern Alps
The Snow > Heliski & Alpine Adventure
 
The exhilarating, magic, life-enhancing rush that heliskiing gives you is hard to beat. For anyone approaching advanced intermediate level skiing or boarding, the adventure and challenge of heliskiing is a must. With thousands of hectares of pristine peaks to choose from heliski operators are adept at choosing the terrain to suit your level of skill. Generally a 4-6 run day is the entry point (these are long runs) but you can also add extra runs as the day goes on. Get together a group of friends and charter a guide and helicopter for a day or a week.
