Heliskiing
EXPENSIVE AS HELI
The best way to do a substantial amount of off-piste skiing is to go
heli-skiing. Canada is the favourite destination, although there is also
heli-skiing in the United States, Italy and more exotic locations ranging
from the Himalayas to the Caucasus.
Helicopters take groups of around 10 skiers with a guide, depositing
them at the top of the chosen slopes and picking them up at the bottom.
A typical day might consist of ten such runs, above the tree-line if
the weather is good, otherwise amongst trees.
Groups usually stay in a luxurious mountain lodge and it is advisable
to book with a group of friends who ski at your level. Heli-skiing can
be the ultimate off-piste skiing; it can also be the ultimate out-of-wallet
experience.
