Description
This is an intenerary that consist of 5 skiing days. We have 10 hours of heli time available for distributing throughout the 5 days as we wish. Meaning, that we can use the heli time for when the weather and conditions are absoulutely best for skiing. Therefore it is hard to say exactly how many heliskiing days we will have.
However, in the ideal world we will have 2 days of good weather, and then use 5 hours heliskiing on these days.
In this case, the remaining 3 days will be spent doing backcountry ski tours in this amazing fiord system. We will use boats to access these remote ski tours.
Ideally we will use day 1 as a ski touring day where we are starting off with practicing avalanche rescue.
In this scenario, day 2+3 could then be heliskiing days, and day 4+5 backcountry touring days.
But again, the exact program will depend very much on the actual weather. This is to ensure that the precious heliskiing hours will be used to it's fullest!
If in doubt of whether this itenerary suits you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Who is this trip for
This is a trip for those who wants truly untouched ski runs in unreal spectacular mountain/fiord landscapes.
During this time of the year, the snow is in a "spring cycle". Meaning that in a lot of slopes we can expect stable snow, and further ski the best "corn" snow to be found in this area. This will be likely to be found in east, south and western aspects.
However, in higher elevations and in north facing slopes, we could also very likely find fresh powder runs all the way down to the fiord.
Therefore, it is ideal if participants are bringing touring skis with a waist width of 100 mm, or close to this.
To get the maximum out of this itenerary, participants should have a fair of both skiing and touring experience from before.
Meaning, participants should have done at least 10 full days of touring earlier, by walking up with your skins on, and then ski down.
And all participants should be able to ski slopes of up to 35 degrees of angle with appropriate speed control.
If in doubt of whether your skiing/touring experience are sufficient for this trip, please contact me to discuss further.
