Renowned for its natural beauty, the South Island is blessed with amazing scenery and in winter, snow capped mountains. The well equipped ski areas are designed to suit beginner through to professional skiers. Nestled in the heart of the Southern Alps is Mt Hutt Ski Area, which receives some of the deepest, lightest, driest powder in Australasia. Take a scenic train journey across Arthurs Pass and view the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers. See stunning Lake Wanaka and spend time in Queenstown; the Southern Hemisphere’s premier four-season lake and alpine resort with rugged mountains, majestic lakes and crystal clear air. Queenstown is a superb base for neighbouring ski fields.

Heliskiing is all about no compromises. It’s for adventurers who are seeking pure adrenalin and pure freedom in pure powder. New Zealand’s World Heritage alpine parks offer all these ingredients, plus the added benefit of breathtaking scenery to fill those few idle seconds at the beginning and end of each run. The day begins with a weather check, then transport to the staging area. Safety briefings on avalanche transceivers and helicopters are followed by an effortless scenic ride to the ridge of your dreams. From here it’s all downhill through powder, as you and your guide lay lines on the slopes. After a gourmet lunch the afternoon continues with another flight to another mountain load of fresh runs. At the end of the day it’s a quick trip back to civilisation but it’ll take you a while to come down to earth.
