HALF DAY HELI SKIING AND RIDING ITINERARY

YOUR HELI-SKIING AND RIDING DAY:

YOUR FIRST DAY OF HELI-SKI AND RIDING

Please be sure to give yourself plenty of time for stretching to ensure a great day of heli skiing and riding. Please make sure you have all the proper gear and equipment before leaving your accommodation. We strongly recommend that you speak with our staff about your equipment to be sure that you have the proper gear for backcountry skiing and riding no later than the day before your first heliski and riding day.

You will need to attend a safety briefing prior to flying with us. Attending this briefing is mandatory for all guests. We typically hold the briefing on the morning of the fly day at 8 am at our headquarters at the Sun Valley Gun Club. On some occasions, we may pre-brief groups in advance. SVHS also requires that you sign a Waiver and Release prior to your fly day. We encourage you to read this important document prior to your briefing. It is available in the footer on the bottom of this page under “Waiver and Release”

7:15 AM ZOOM Call:

On the morning of your fly day, you must participate in a brief Zoom call with a SVHS staff member and your fellow guests. The call will last approximately 10 minutes and generally covers the plan for the day, the weather and other related matters.

8:00 AM: Guest Arrival – Sun Valley Heli Headquarters- Sun Valley Gun Club

8:00 AM is our typical starting time, unless you are otherwise advised by our staff on the Zoom call. Sun Valley Heli Ski Headquarters is located at The Sun Valley Gun Club at 301 Trail Creek Road, at the end of Trail Creek Road in Sun Valley. It is imperative that you arrive on time with all of your gear as late arrivals can delay the entire group of skiers and riders.

8:00-9:30 AM: Organize Gear, Safety Briefing and Departure

Upon arrival, all guests will be greeted by a SVHS staff member and then weighed. Once all the weights have been taken and people have organized thier gear, the guests will break into smaller groups for a safety briefing. This includes how to operate around a helicopter, how to use the avalanche safety equipment provided, how to ski in the backcountry and other related matters.

The first group of skiers and riders will depart in the helicopter from the Gun Club at approximately 9:30, subject to weather and other matters. The other groups will either depart from the Gun Club or take one of our Heli Ski Vans or their personal vehicles to one of our various staging areas. Groups are then individually flown into the backcountry to start their ski and riding day.

1 to 5 PM:

Return from skiing. Lots of high 5’s! The actual return time will vary based upon the logistics of the day.

ALL TIMES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BASED ON WEATHER AND OTHER LOGISTICAL MATTERS
