Are skis included? What type do I need?
Are skis included? What type do I need?
Wide-body powder skis or all-mountain skis are the preferred choice for your heli-ski trip. You don’t have to own your own powder skis – talk to us and we can recommend a variety of hire equipment retailers. This style of ski allows you to handle a wide range of snow conditions, faster, easier and with more stability. All of our guides use these and they’re wonderful for those wanting to go longer and harder in more advanced terrain.
