Heli-skiing news from Iceland and Greenland

There´s summer in the air, birds are singing and the sheep are out roaming the valleys. Even though the valleys are turning green and the farmers preparing for the first grass cut there´s still plenty of skiing to be done here on the Troll Peninsula in Iceland

Last winter we at Arctic Heli skiing had the great pleasure of hosting Warren Miller Entertainment for two weeks as they shot a full segment for their latest ski movie Ticket to Ride bringing with them an all time crew of female athletes, including Olympic Gold medalist Julia Mancuso, World freeride champ Jess McMillan and the rapidly rising star of Sierra Quitiquit.

We at Arctic Heli Skiing are fortunate to meet many good skiers through our work and sometimes even great skiiers. When working last winter in Iceland with ski movie legends Warren Miller we got to know three more great skiers. There was one big difference in the skiers group this time, all of them were girls. Two of them we knew of before they arrived; Olympic gold medalist Julia Mancuso and freeskiing world tour champion Jess McMillan. The third one, Sierra Quitiquit was a new name in the book for us. So, let´s meet Sierra Quitiquit

First of all a very happy new heliski year to all our friends the world over.

Everyone knows easyJet as one of the biggest airlines in Europe with over a 130 destinations, but not many people know that you can ''easily'' get to your heliski destination in Iceland with direct easyJet flights from London, Bristol, Edinburgh, Manchester and now even Basel in Switzerland. Its never been as ''Easy'' to join us for some awesome adventure heliskiing in Iceland before.

In March 2013 we had the great pleasure of hosting Warren Miller Entertainment in Iceland as they shot a segment for their new film, Ticket to Ride. The skiers that joined for this heliski adventure were no others than Olympic gold medalist Julia Mancuso, World Champion freeskier Jess McMillan and Sierra Quitiquit who had nothing but good things to say about heliskiing in Iceland.

It is with great pleasure and pride that Arctic Heli Skiing announces the fact that this coming season we will be in cooperation with one of the best ski makers in business these days, Völkl. Along with Marker bindings Völkl skis will be the mainstay of our ski fleet for the 2014 season and our guests will have full access to Iceland's only Völkl ski test center.

Every year we at Arctic Heli Skiing Iceland go and visit our good friends on both sides of the Atlantic. This year we have already toured the eastern seaboard where we visited friends and did presentations in Vermont and NYC. Thanks to our good friends and long time guests we were able to host some great little events where both old and new friends got to hear the good word about heliskiing in Iceland right from the horses mouth.

HeliCat Canada is the most prestigious industry association globally within the Heli skiing and Cat skiing industries.
