So, you’re a pretty good skier, are ya? Why don’t you take it to the next level. Heli-skiing. Get into a helicopter and let it take you to an area where you’ll be the first one to make tracks on it. An untouched powder-coated mountain of heart pounding excitement. Go on a New Zealand heli-skiing vacation. New Zealand’s Southern Alps are parallel to many of the worlds top skiing locations.

Queenstown, Wanaka, and Mount Cook, should be your points of interest on your New Zealand heli-skiing vacation. Queenstown is the adrenalin capital of the adrenalin capital of the world. If you think that your heart rate is too slow, take a trip to Queenstown.                               

New Zealand skiing vacations in Queenstown, are more than just that. This is just a few ideas of what else you can do in Queenstown.

• Bungee Jumping
• White Water Rafting
• Mountaineering
• Hiking
• Aerobatics
• Hang Gliding
• Skydiving……………….

……………and that’s just to name a few.

On the morning of your heli-skiing adventure, your instructors will check the weather, to make sure they’re not getting you out of bed for nothing. Then if everything is AOK, you’ll be picked up and taken to a staging place. This is where you will meet the other skiers, your instructors, and your pilot for the day. If they are anything like the Nevis bungee guys I met, they’re nuts. You’ll then go over all the safety rules. Then into the chopper for your first run of the day. Depending on the conditions, is where you’ll be taken. At around noon you’ll be treated to a gourmet lunch, (a buffet). There you can talk with other groups and compare crashes. After lunch it’s back to the slopes.

Go for it. It’s the ultimate in outdoor adventure activity in New Zealand.
