Join us for a day in the life of Patagonia Heliski, the first and only professional helicopter skiing operation in Patagonia Argentina. From the luxury lodge at the foot of the Andes Mountains, wake up with the sun on the peaks and a warm yerba mate in your hand. Gear up and launch into the Patagonian wilderness for an adventure like no other. Experience the thrill of being a modern-day explorer, as you pioneer new ski terrain in a mountain kingdom of over one million acres. Ski and snowboard deep powder snow on seemingly endless glacier runs, log first descents, and name runs as we go.
Last year (2018), we installed the first professional-grade ridgetop weather station in the region. Our guide team performed the entire process, from sourcing the instruments at the Campbell Scientific laboratory in Utah, to fabricating a steel tripod in a barn in Patagonia. Many thanks to Gabriel, Patricio and Justin for making this happen, and thanks to Sebas and Jean-Marc for the video! Muchas gracias!
