You may have heard that it rained here in Ketchum a couple days ago. While most driveways turned to mush and the warm temps had people shedding their down parkas like it was May, Baldy and the surrounding high country got their fair share of the fluffy white stuff. In fact, our very own Jon Gilmour, scored a coveted seat on Sun Valley Heli Ski’s chopper and caught a glimpse of how truly amazing backcountry skiing is this time of year.
First off, if you haven’t tried it already, let’s get something out of the way… YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE AN EXPERT! One of the most common misconceptions about heli skiing is that you have to be a pro to do it. We’re not talking about first descents in Alaska. There are a number of destinations in Sun Valley Heli Ski’s 750,000 acres of terrain that offer slopes of varying degree. And the short, fat skis that most people are skiing on today, really make powder skiing effortless.
Sun Valley Heli Ski offers a number of different ski and lodging packages. For more information, please talk to the Concierge at Les Saisons.
