Definition: Heliskiing is skiing on remote mountainsides that are reached by a helicopter. Skiers and snowboarders board a helicopter for the ride and they are taken to off-piste terrain. At the bottom of a run the helicopter picks the skiers and snowboarders up and ferries them to more untouched powder.
The most popular place to heli-ski in North America is in the Canadian Rockies. Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing and Canadian Mountain Holidays both offer heli-skiing and heli-snowboarding.
Also Known As: heli-skiing
Alternate Spellings: heli-skiing
Examples:
When you go heli-skiing with Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing or Canadian Mountain Holidays, expect the helicopter to drop you off atop powder runs in alpine bowls, slopes or glades, somewhere in the Canadian Rockies.
