New Zealand Heli Ski/Snowboard Weeks


I am a senior lead guide for Harris Mountains Heli-ski, NZ’s largest heli-skiing company with by far the best terrain, and can organise you 7 day packages including heli-skiing, hotels and transfers.

Accommodation is at the four star Edgewater Hotel, Wanaka. You arrive on Sunday and leave the following Saturday, or extend your stay as you wish. This  optimises your chances of good weather and great skiing. You have three days pre-paid heli-skiing of 21 runs and additional days are available if the weather is good and you wish to ski more. Unused days due to weather are refunded in full. Alternative options include visiting the local ski areas, wine tours, many adventure activities or just shopping and cafe perusing.
