THE LANDSCAPE

Aerial access to untouched powder

Heli access opens up broad swaths of untouched terrain, letting you move from ridge to valley and make multiple fresh‑snow descents in a single outing.

THE SAFETY KIT

Comprehensive avalanche tools included

The operator supplies essential avalanche safety gear for each participant: beacon, probe, shovel, harness and an airbag pack are part of the package.

THE FORMAT

Small groups, big access

Groups are kept to a maximum of four people, and the day typically yields six to ten runs (average eight), maximizing vertical and line options for a compact, high‑intensity day in the alpine.
