Heli-Skiing

New Zealand has thousands of hectares of untouched powder snow on virgin mountain slopes that skiers and snowboarders will push themselves to the edge for.

New Zealand heli-ski operators cover a vast area of off-piste territory, ranging far and wide along the Southern Alps in the South Island of NZ during the July to October season. For intermediate skiers who are proficient in skiing on untracked powder, it can be the ultimate once-in-a-lifetime experience. ="0983621540"; You are transported with a New Zealand alpine guide into remote NZ backcountry, which has deep, powder snow on slopes. From the high slopes you have an unforgettable view of the New Zealand Southern Alps snow-capped peaks disappearing into the distance. Multiple runs of 3000 vertical metres can be made on a heli-ski trip. It is totally exhilarating and completely effortless with your high tech helicopter transport always at hand.

New Zealand's Tasman Glacier in the South Islands Mt Cook National Park is a major attraction. You are whisked from the airport to the upper glacier within minutes and are then free to explore around 13 km of undulating glacial bowls, cruising past huge icefalls and crevasses down to the lowest glacial snowfield. The NZ helicopter pilot then swiftly returns you to the start area. It is pure skiing indulgence, with the longest glacial ski run in the Southern Hemisphere. At Wanaka in the South Island, skiers are flown in to the vast Harris Mountains region. This is the largest heli-ski area south of the equator.

These winter wonderlands are only minutes away from civilization in New Zealand.
The Sun, Snow and fantastic scenery will make this a not to miss experience.
