Skiers and boarders should report to our base at the
Old Mountaineers Cafe at Aoraki Mt Cook. Here, skiers and boarders
receive a full safety briefing on all aspects of the day's operation. The
Heliski Director then divides people into small,
compatible groups, before flying into the day's first run.
Each group is led by their own professional guide
during the day. Ask about our private charters.
NOTE: Bookings & confirmations are essential.

THE CLIMATE:
Helicopter skiing takes us into high mountain ranges.
You can therefore experience (sometimes even on the
same day) excellent powder, breakable crust, or corn
snow. Statistically, we ski good to excellent snow 75%
of the time. In general expect powder from July to early
September and spring snow from September to early
November. Because New Zealand has a maritime
climate with very high mountains close to the sea, the
weather is unpredictable so you may not be able to ski
at all, particularly if you have a tight itinerary. Flexibility is
the key to getting the best heliskiing.
