Included in a day of heli-skiing are six runs (totaling approximately 10,000-12,000 vertical feet), powder skis, poles, avalanche beacon and food and water throughout the day. A safety orientation, helicopter briefing and avalanche protocol expectations are covered in a morning meeting and the day ends with an après ski drink.

Let us arrange a private fixed-wing charter from either Aspen or Vail, and enjoy a 40 minute scenic flight to Telluride. Once in Telluride, guests board a helicopter for a full day of heli-skiing in the 200 square miles surrounding Telluride, in the San Juan Mountains. After a day of heli-skiing you’ll be back to Aspen or Vail in time for happy hour. Fixed-wing charter flights have a minimum rate and are only scheduled for perfect weather days.

CUSTOM HELI-SKI TOUR

We will search out the best snow and terrain available to meet your group’s expectations. We have offered custom tours since 1982; we provide an unrivaled experience. Custom tours can accommodate up to 16 skiers divided into groups of four skiers. Custom tour pricing is based upon the actual flight hours (when the helicopter is actually in the air), with a two hour minimum. Each group of four skiers can expect to get six – eight runs per flight hour. We provide great food, the latest powder skis, safety equipment and heaps of bragging rights. Call early to secure your day.

BACKCOUNTRY SKI TOURS

Do you prefer to ski in the backcountry on your own terms? No one knows the San Juan Mountains like a Helitrax guide. Everyone of our team is an active backcountry skier with intimate knowledge of the surrounding mountains. Not for the faint of heart, our tours require at least 1 1/2 hours of uphill travel to reap the rewards. All trips include an avalanche orientation, beacon, transportation and lunch. We can also put together a spectacular helicopter assisted back-country tour for small groups on a limited basis. These tours are world class, you will not be disappointed.
