Bluebird Days...



Is there anything greater than a post storm bluebird day?

The answer is yes, there is something better…


...taking advantage of it in a single group heliskiing program.

It's a perfect skiing day - a clear blue sky, bright sun, and an untracked blanket of fast, deep snow, 30 centimeters of fresh flying up from under you as you speed through it turn by turn. Not only is the blower pow in perfect symmetry with your skiing, but you and your single group are the only ones in the vicinity, the playground endless around you. Thousands of acres of rugged peaks stretch in every direction and seem to glow under the sun. Not a sound can be heard outside of the voices of your friends and your guides around you. As you approach the helicopter at the bottom of the run, a long ways down from the Glacier where you started, the blades cut through the sounds of silence and keeps the adrenaline pumping as you climb back in for another run…
