HELI SKIING
The ultimate Andean Powder Turns Adventure! Nothing can compare to access the goods by helicopter. And this feeling of freedom is amplified by the size of the Andes mountains, its weather, and its geography. This will be the adventure of your life as the mountains here are rugged and isolated like no others. After the helicopter lifts off, you will experience that deep silence on top of an Andean peak. You will feel that same spiritual connection with the mountain that our Chilean ancestors felt when they used to hike peak to peak during their ancient times. Nobody can show our Chilean heritage like the Andes mountains themselves.
For this special occasion we have teamed up with local snowboard legend and formal Chilean Pro Rider, Juan Paulo Audisio, who learned the art of heliguiding with legendary heliguide Dean Cummins and his company H2O in Valdez, Alaska. Charismatic and well known in the industry, “Audi” has 8 years of heliguiding experience in the Chilean Andes. Take a ride with the Chilean snowboard legends on a A-Star B3, B4, or Bell 407 Helicopter with Chilean Airforce trained pilots. Let us take you into the unexplored and remote corners of the Andes range of mountains in Chile and beyond as you

Owned and run by Chilean snowboard legend and sled-skiing pioneer Nico Demetrio, Sled Skiing Chile enjoys permits to operate in Cajon Del Maipo’s Carreno Valley. A place with an incredible heritage behind it, and the mecca of mountaineering in Chile, just an hour from Santiago’s downtown. The Carreno valley does not get ridden that often, allowing for better management of fresh pow runs and safety. Nico and his team will treat you like one of their own. And don’t you worry about a thing! because the snowmobile driving is on us! just get drop off on top of the run and ride down! Experience the true Chilean snowmobile-skiing/boarding adventure as you
