Many heli-skiing runs start on the high alpine glaciers and end well below tree line, deep in the valley bottoms. The glaciers and alpine bowls of our heliskiing tenure seem to go on forever. Rip turns through deep blankets of powder surrounded by jagged and awe inspiring peaks. For many skiers, tree skiing is the essence of heliskiing. The treed-terrain is challenging and the deep snow lies protected from the elements amongst the spectacular old growth forests.
Vertical Footage
Our packages guarantee a certain amount of vertical footage depending
on the length of your heliski tour. The average footage skied per week
is approximately 130,000 vertical feet (39,600 vertical meters). Well
over 200,000 vertical feet (61,000 vertical meters) have been skied in
a week, while on some occasions, only 70,000 vertical feet (21,300 vertical
meters) have been accomplished.
Here is what you can expect given the length of your heliski tour:
