Entry-Level Heli-Skiing Excursions at Top Resorts

Heli-ski trips are expensive, often remote, and for first timers, almost always intimidating. That’s why it can be wise to go heli-skiing for a day or two before committing to a week in an off-the-grid lodge. Several top destination ski resorts have quality, on-site heli-skiing operations offering full-day (and sometimes half-day) trips. One big advantage of this is flexibility with weather. If the flights are grounded, you can just ski at the resort and often push the heli back a day or two. This is also well suited for families or groups where not everyone wants to heli-ski, or for people who just love the amenities of a great ski town.
