Skiing is a great pastime but for true adrenalin junkies the only way to find the best run and smoothest snow is to board a helicopter and take a heli skiing trip. Jumping out a helicopter on top of a very high mounting might seem crazy to some people but to others it’s the best feeling in the world and the reason they learned to ski in the first place.

Arranging a heli skiing trip is simple and all you require is some free time, a telephone and a credit card. If you look at some of our link partners you will find a large number of companies both UK and internationally based who specialise in ski travel.

If you do decide to go heli skiing then you need to invest in some warm clothing and if possible a gps locator. A gps device can be essential in case of avalanche and can help save you life.

If you are looking for cheap skis or ski clothing then a trip to the ski shop should give you a huge number of bargains.
