A Private Helicopter
For Just You and Your Group of Friends
For Just You and Your Group of Friends
4 Nights | 5 Nights | 7 Nights
Having your own private helicopter is the ultimate luxury when heli skiing. It's just you and your friends, a private guide, and what is essentially the highest of high-speed lifts with the flexibility to go anywhere.
Private programs are ideal for groups of friends or family units and can be purchased in either a single-group or two-group format. The helicopter used is an A-Star, which is fast, powerful, and nimble.
Single-group programs can accommodate up to 4 guests + 1 guide (one group in the helicopter), and two-group programs can accommodate up to 8 guests + 2 guides (two groups in the helicopter). In either case, the helicopter is dedicated to just you and your friends.
A further advantage is that private helicopter programs are based on flight hours rather than a set amount of vertical feet of skiing and you get to decide how to best utilize your flying time. This should of course be planned in consultation with our experienced guide team.
If you want to explore the towering peaks surrounding the lodge, tour the glacial icefields to the south, or the coastal fjords to the west, go explore. If you prefer to cycle some fast runs close to the lodge, you can do that. Want to enjoy a warm sit-down lunch back at the lodge between runs, enjoy! If you are a family with younger kids you can ski at your own pace. Mutli-generational family unite! Grandparents in tow, some of the group can fly back to the lodge while the rest of the group keeps skiing. It's your private heli skiing experience. You decide!
The program, quite simply, is designed to guarantee operational flexibility and therefore maximizes the chances of providing the best heli skiing holiday of your life. For this reason, if you are booking as a group of friends or a family unit, we recommend booking a private heli program rather than the vertical-based program.
This program is offered at Tweedsmuir Park Lodge and it should be noted, runs in conjunction with the vertical ski programs. This means there will be other guests at the lodge sharing the facilities and the hospitality services, but you are guaranteed your own exclusive helicopter for heli skiing. If you want the additional exclusivity of a lodge buyout please check out our lodge buyout programs.
This program is appropriate for experienced skiers and snowboarders, as well as those who have never heli skied before, including families of up to 8 people.
A unique advantage of a Two Group Private is that you can split up into a slower group and a fast group. If you plan to travel as a multi-generational family, the youth can ski more aggressively, and the adults more leisurely. Or perhaps, the other way around.
Single Group Privates can be booked by less than 4 people, though the price is fixed. Two Group Privates can be booked by less than 8 people, though the price is fixed.
