4 Groups
You. 3 friends. 1 guide.
With our small group format and two dedicated A-Star helicopters servicing only four small groups (16 guests maximum), this program guarantees an action packed ski adventure. Whether you want to charge towards a personal vertical record or prefer a more relaxed pace, our intimate size allows for mutual decision making amongst your group.
Extraordinary pilots and agile helicopters provide safe and efficient access to ski runs that beckon without waiting for a lift or big groups. This program includes cumulative vertical starting at 6000 metres (19,685 feet) per day, with the option to ski as much as your legs and daylight will allow. Daily plans are customized by our experienced guides to suit guest needs and desires. Stop only to refuel with a gourmet lunch in the field. The Classic Program is all about skiing to your heart's content.
