High Mountain Heli-skiing
Effortless excitement, untracked powder and the majesty of the Tetons is waiting for you with High Mountain Heli-Skiing!
Since 1974, High Mountain Heli-Skiing (HMH) has been offering its guests the ultimate deep powder helicopter skiing experience in Jackson Hole. They are using the newest model AS-350B3e A-Star helicopters to access their terrain. Their 305,000-acre terrain consists of ranges south of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, including all of the Snake River and Palisades Mountain Ranges, and portions of the Hoback, Teton and the Gros Ventre Mountain Ranges. Vast open bowls, steep chutes, enchanted forests and glades can all be yours to explore.
Their staff of professional guides is trained in Outdoor Emergency Care as provided by the National Ski Patrol, CPR, and avalanche hazard forecasting and mountain rescue. Guide school refreshers are conducted annually. Safety has always been their primary concern at HMH and all guides meet or exceed the standards set by the Heli-Ski US Association. Anyone going heli-skiing should be of an advanced to expert skiing ability, able to make good parallel turns in all conditions. With the advancement of powder and fat skis, powder skiing experience is not completely necessary. Fat ski rentals (the new Rossignol Super 7 are available at extra cost on-site).
Snowboarders are also welcome on heli-ski outings. They should also be of advanced to expert ability, able to hold an edge on a traverse and carry their speed across any flat areas. The guide will always keep you informed of what is to be expected.
6 runs / Daily Heli-skiing rates
A day in the pristine Teton backcountry with High Mountain Heli-Skiing consists of 6 heli-ski runs (approx. 12,000 to 15,000 total vertical feet) transportation to the heli-pad, and lunch at the Heli-Deli.
