Methven Heli Ski Packages

Standard Heli Ski Package – 5 Run Day

The heli skiing or heli boarding package offers 5 perfectly blissful runs. A day with Methven Heliski also includes the expert guiding, safety equipment, a scrummy picnic lunch, and return transfers between Methven and Glenfalloch. If you’re up for a complete blockbuster of a day, you can add extra runs (based on group consensus), which is charged according to vertical.

Fat skis will significantly increase your powder skiing enjoyment. If you don’t have your own fatties, powder skis can be hired from Big Al’s in Methven.

Group Heli Skiing

Methven Heli Ski offers small group heli skiing with a guide to client ratio of 1 to 4. Solos or duos are welcome to join a mixed group, and a minimum of 3 people is required to operate.

The minimum age for heli skiing is 13 years. Those less than 18 years old must have their registration forms completed by an adult and must accompany the child.

Private Packages

Going on a “standard” heli skiing day with Methven Heliski is amazing, but if you want an extraordinary experience and maximal vertical, feed your powder addiction with a private heli ski charter. With exclusive use of the helicopter, you can burn more turns and have the flexibility to roam with your guide.

Private heli skiing is based on a maximum ratio of 4 clients to 1 guide, although 2 guides may be assigned depending on the terrain and conditions. Pricing is based on the guiding but predominantly on the helicopter usage time.
