Telluride Helitrax - Day Heli Skiing
Whether new to heli-skiing or a heli-veteran, Helitrax day trips deliver a fabulous experience! You've got two options: join a mixed group day trip; or get together your own group for private heli skiing. For general information on Helitrax, the location, snow and terrain, and our review, see the
Helitrax overview page.
Day Group Heli Skiing
Helitrax day trips are based on mixed groups so you can join in as a solo or small group or if you have a neat group of 4 (assuming you are all the same level and are happy to ski/ride together) you can make up your own heli group with a guide making it like a semi-private experience.
Included in a day of group heli-skiing are six runs (totaling approximately 10,000-12,000 vertical feet), powder skis, poles, avalanche transceiver, avalanche airbag pack and food and water throughout the day.
A safety orientation, helicopter briefing and avalanche protocol expectations are covered in a morning meeting and the day ends with an après ski session.
A typical heli-ski day starts with an 8:30AM guest and guide meeting. Skis are assigned and a safety briefing and daily logistics discussion take place. The first flight typically departs at 9:30 – 10:00 AM and guests are usually back at the resort between 2:30 – 4:00 PM. Times and schedules may vary with weather conditions and operational logistics.

Private Heli Skiing
With private heli skiing, it's an exclusive and customized experience just for your group. These custom tours can accommodate up to 16 people, divided into groups of 4. Each group can expect to get 6 to 8 runs per flight hour.
Private heli skiing packages included the guided heli skiing, food including apres ski, the latest skis/snowboards, ski poles, safety briefing, an avalanche transceiver, avalanche airbag pack, and plenty of phenomenal memories.
One of the advantages of private heli skiing with Helitrax is that the terrain is in close proximity to the base area, and that runs are concentrated in close proximity to each other, so you're not burning up flight hours with unnecessary transport.
Charters from Vail or Aspen
If you’re staying at Vail or Aspen or a nearby town, Helitrax can organise a same-day charter flight (fixed wing aircraft) on perfect weather days to get you to Telluride. Have an awesome day heli-skiing and be home in time for dinner with the family! You can
make an inquiry for more information.
