Heli-Skiing in Deer Valley

The beauty of the mountains at the Deer Valley Ski Resort and its surrounding area can be more enjoyed if viewed from the sky.

For the adventurous, powder-seeking skier in the group, an exciting possibility is a heli-skiing trip. This is somewhat expensive but within reason for someone who is serious about finding that untouched powder. Two local companies, Park City Powder Cats & Heli-Ski, Inc. and Wasatch Powderbird Guides, offer heli-skiing services. If you decide to pony up the cash, you can plan on a full-day of skiing with professional guides. Most ski days include 6-7 runs and up to 15,000 vertical feet covered. Heli-skiing guests do not need to be extreme skiers, but they do need to have solid skiing skills and reasonable physical stamina. Contact the outfitter you choose for specific skill requirements and to book a reservation.

Seeing this beautiful Park City area from the sky would be an experience you will never forget. The exhilaration of a 2,000 vertical foot descent is sure to be amazing. Consider the vacation memories you could make high in the mountain sky!
