Greetings from Sun Valley Helicopter Ski Guides!

My 25th season as an owner and guide has begun in a big way. As of the beginning of January, the Sun Valley snow pack stands at 105% of normal and the snow continues to fall.

To kick off the new year we have put together some amazing new packages for our guests. I am hopeful you will find an appealing option. I am very excited about the prospect of putting our clients together with the likes of Jeremy Nobis, Tommy Moe and Sun Valley’s own Crist brothers through our Pro Athlete Experience. The opportunity to ski Baldy and heli ski our vast backcountry with these amazing skiers is a unique thrill for any enthusiast, including me!   In addition, The Smoky Mountain Lodge, located in the heart of our remote terrain, is smothered with snow and awaiting your customized three day experience.

If you have skied with us before, I hope you will make an effort to return this season. And if you have yet to experience the oldest heliski operation in the United States, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

See you in Sun Valley!   Mark Baumgardner

New Helicopter Operator
We have a very sweet Astar B2 from WorldWind Helicopters, a fine operation that our pilot of five years, Lon Stickney, loves to fly. We look forward to having an Astar in the fleet again.  This is a fine machine and the standard in heliskiing.
New Office
Our new office is in a historic house at 520 4th Street East in Ketchum, less than a block away from Atkinson’s, the only grocery store in town.  This new location is easily accessible to all Sun Valley visitors and a big step in our efforts to be more conveniently located.  We look forward to seeing you so please stop by when in town.
New Heli Pad
I am very happy to announce that we have secured a new heliport at the Sun Valley Gun Club. This will enhance our relationship with Sun Valley Company and should prove to be very convenient for our guests.  This new location is just up the street from where many of our guests will be staying at the Sun Valley Lodge and the Sun Valley Inn.
