Thanks to SKI and Joe Cutts for the article “Heli for the Holidays” in the December magazine. Last year my family voted on where we would go for our vacation and Heli-Skiing lost because my mom voted no. This year after she read the article she nodded her head and in a second my dad booked our family for Christmas 2008 in the Adamants and now I can’t wait! "

Family Heli-Skiing Holidays
Our Christmas Holiday Family Trips are designed for 12- to 17-year old kids and their parents (or grandparents, aunts and uncles). Families begin the day skiing together, but when the kids get tired they can return to the lodge and the older folks can stay up in the mountains (as always, they’ll have the chance to return to the lodge themselves at mid-day or on refueling flights).
Adults are guaranteed the usual 30,500 vertical metres (100,000 vertical feet) of Heli-Skiing. For children the guarantee is 15,250 vertical metres (50,000 vertical feet), taking pressure off the kids to stay out all day (but if they’re go-getters, they can continue skiing beyond their guaranteed vertical feet at the normal rate).
Youngsters who come in early from skiing enjoy a variety of fun, supervised activities, including, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, building igloos or snowmen, doing crafts, or—always a big favourite—tackling the lodge’s climbing wall (where available). In the evening, our chefs cook up a grand family dinner, with special menu choices for the kids. On Christmas morning, families will share time around a beautiful tree with presents for everyone in the lodge.
If you have a child who is under 12, but who you think is ready for Heli-Skiing, please call us. Younger children who won’t be skiing are welcome at no charge, but you’ll have to provide childcare (we offer a non-skier, “nanny” rate).
Because of the special prices for Family Trips, we’re not able to offer New Guest Credits or Group Organizer’s Commissions.
