The Classic
Definitely the most popular choice. From first-timers to seasoned heli-skiers, the Classic day combines unforgettable adventure and superior value, making it a great choice all around. We create a welcoming environment for you to feel comfortable and enjoy everything that heli-skiing has to offer – untouched terrain, incredible snow, and breathtaking views.
Interested in multiple days? Multi-day packages can be consecutive or with break days built in - whatever suits your holiday schedule. Simply pick your dates, three or five runs, and then multiply the daily rate to get your total.
"Wonderful experience. Best heli operation I have ever boarded with. Safe and fun while challenging us vertical foot after vertical foot. The guides were knowledgeable, fun and great skiers. This place is the gateway to heaven! Well above and beyond all of my wildest dreams. Thanks very much guys." – Derek P.
At a minimum for the 3 run program, skiers and snowboarders need to be confident on intermediate and some advanced terrain. Unsure what’s best for you? Check out our ability page for more details and our helpful rating guide.
All Classic programs operate out of our day lodge in Golden and fly in a Bell 205 helicopter.
