Personal equipment - important to know
The weather conditions are similar to the ones that can be experienced in the Alps. Your usual set of skiing gear will be suitable for your week of heli-skiing.
Since the temperatures in the helicopter are warm and the trips uphill are shorter than the ones on the chairlift, skiers will stay warmer for longer periods of time. However, due to the manipulation of the skiing gear before and after each descent, the gloves will absorb large quantities of moisture. It is for this reason that we suggest you bring two pairs of gloves along with a pair of warm mittens.
