Arctic Heli Skiing - Exploratory Helicopter skiing in Iceland and Greenland, adventure heli-skiing at its best, Heliski in Europe, a unique opportunity for first descents

Below you will find a short history of Kevin's Greenland adventures in his own words as well as his reasoning behind flying completely around the globe every year to go skiing in Greenland.

- 2005 -

''I spent the first 2 weeks in May 2005 in the region and we had a very good trip. The snow conditions were a mix of powder and corn and the weather was reasonable allowing 9.5 flying days out of a possible 14 days. The snow conditions were perfect for exploring which was the nature of the trip.

- 2006 -

In 2006 I spent 3 weeks in the region arriving the last week in April. We had good powder skiing and some spring skiing the first week, a mix again the 2nd week and perfect spring skiing on the 3rd week. As we were leaving the snow was powder again. The spring skiing was by a far the highlight although it nice to have a mix of conditions. In 2006 we flew 17 out of 21 days.

- 2007 -

In 2007 we had a bad week where we only got out on 3 days however the weather then cleared and stayed fine for 13 days allowing us 16 days Heliskiing out of 21.
In 2006 &2007 we did overnight trips to a small Inuit village approx 100 Km to the North and stayed in the local school house. This was quite an adventure but involved arranging sleeping bags and catering to be supplied as well as a lot of logistics but it did make for a fantastic cultural experience and a chance to explore some amazing terrain.
 

- 2008 -

In 2008 we had a delayed start due to our helicopter being stuck by weather in Southern Greenland. It had left a week earlier from the base in Nuuk but a persistent storm prevented its arrival until mid week. On arrival the weather was settled and over a 4 week period we had 20 flying days out of 28. On bad weather days we got out ski touring almost every day and on occasion combined ski touring with dog sledding to access different terrain.

- 2009 -

In 2009 we had amazing powder and cold weather in late April and early May. We only operated for 2 weeks and flew on 9 out of 14 days. During this period we had some of the best skiing and riding, experienced to date in Greenland and got great shots of a polar bear near Kulusuk''


'' Greenland is the most spectacular place I have skied, the week offers a fantastic opportunity to experience somewhere completely different (more spectacular than Antarctica). It is not CMH and things in Greenland don’t operate with the same efficiency. The weather, snow quality or flying hours are not guaranteed and there is no refund policy. In saying this the runs are close and I manage the operation to give you the best variety of terrain , skiing quality and maximum number of runs possible for the number of hours flown. I believe it is a very high quality product and from experience feel that the weather is stable enough that you will get to have a great trip although you can expect a day or two doing alternative activities.
