Alaska trip
The leading European heliskiing agency since the early 1980's, at Yak & Yeti we offer you our heliskiing expertise, experience and passion, to help you discover the most beautiful heliskiing bases on the planet 'Mountain': Heliskiing in Russia, Heliskiing in Turkey, Heliskiing in Greenland, Heliskiing in Canada, Heliskiing in Chile.
In our catalogue you'll find the most spectacular heliskiing destinations on the planet 'Mountain', with personalized guide services offering total safety in order to experience the intensive emotions of untracked powder, virgin slopes, unspoiled nature and wild animals. The helicopter allows you to link a series of fantastic descents on highly varied and infinitely open terrain. The spirit of adventure with no borders or limits. Immaculate slopes far from the beaten track and magnificent wild valleys just waiting for your signature.
Drawing from our in-depth experience with different heliskiing operations around the world, we have decided to open our own heliskiing bases to meet the following criteria: Close to Europe to limit access trip duration and jet lag. Large surface area of the mountain ranges, with summits culminating at 3000 meters. Proximity of the sea to ensure snow mantle stability. Organization of heliskiing in small groups with a maximum of 3 groups per week. Groups led by highly experienced guides and pilots. Possibility to reserve your own private trip with personal guide and helicopter.
Descents take place between 3200 and 700 m altitude. A never-ending succession of superb, wind-sheltered slopes and bowls, magnificent forests of well-spaced silver birches and snow conditions that no longer exist in Europe (influence of the Black Sea) create a true powder and heliskiing paradise for skiers of all levels on non-glacial terrain. The ski lifts (4 chairlifts) offer a genuine ski area that is appreciated in bad weather.
Each participant in a heliskiing trip is equipped with an ARB (avalanche rescue beacon), a shovel, a probe and an ABS airbag (the ABS Airbag offers you 150 liters more volume for improved safety in the event of an avalanche; it balances victims' specific weight with respect to the surrounding snow and prevents them from sinking down in the snow mass. Comparable to a life vest, the bag enables the victim to 'swim' on the surface. The extra 150 l volume is designed for light, cold snow. The heavier and denser the snow, the less extra volume is required).
The territory available to us is immense (exclusivity of Yak & Yeti Services). It offers an unlimited choice of descents according to the different exposures, snow quality, altitude, and the group's technical level. The site of Lake Riza is especially suited to heliskiing and offers each skier the opportunity to leave tracks in totally virgin powder. Groups are made up of 5 skiers or snowboarders led by an experienced guide (European guide, member of the International Union of Mountain Guide Associations - UIAGM). Each guide has a radio link to the other guides and the helicopter. The guides have all the necessary first aid equipment in their pack.
Thanks to nearly 30 years of heliskiing experience, we will assist you with your choice of stay and then be your high mountain guides on site. We are specialists in the very technical activity of heliskiing. Don't wait any longer: take that one extra step that separates those who have done it from those who just dream about it? You'll share exceptional moments with other powder addicts on the most spectacular slopes in the world, in contact with local populations, creating unexpected and unforgettable encounters.
