| Description: |
Terrain: |
| A small, intimate operation that pride themselves on cohesive groups, deep snow and skiing every day with their new catski backup. More skiing, with more snow. Their terrain is the fourth largest in the world, and sets the scene for the most remarkable 4-7 days you will experience for the year, unless you come back more than once per season! Their number one priority is safety and is paramount in everything that they do. |
We have a great variety of terrain over 6000 square kilometres, including deep and steep tree skiing and incredible alpine and glacier skiing. Runs range from 2,500 to 6,000 vertical feet over more than 250 named runs with new runs to be discovered all the time… |
| Helicopters: |
Group/Lift Size: |
| The only company using the Koala Helicopter (more power, speed, space and skiing!) as well as snowcats for storming snow days. 3 groups of 6 per Heli, with speed to stay well ahead of the groups. Also, fuelling is needed less often! |
3 groups of 6 in the Classic Packages, 2 groups of 4-5 in the semi-private packages, and 1 group of 4-5 in the Private. Groups of 12 skiers/boarders receive one free seat when making a reservation for the same week. |
