HELISKIING
Helicopter jumps
and skiing on
untouched mountain
slopes. Using a
helicopter allows
you to find hard-to-
reach places that
cannot be reached
by other means.
The main danger is the
high probability of an
avalanche, so each skier
must have special
equipment with him,
which will allow him to
be found quickly in case
of danger.
The most popular
mountain areas where
heliskiing is practiced
are: Canada, Alaska
(USA), Iceland, Greenland,
New Zealand, the
Himalayas.
To practice heliskiing,
skiers must be proficient in
the technique of descending
virgin snow on slopes of
varying steepness.
