Both heli-skiing and cat-skiing: the questions people ask
What should I ask a heli-ski operator before booking?

Can I book with these operators directly?
Yes. Each card links the operator's own website or booking page; ask for a written quote that lists what the price includes and the cancellation terms.
Do these operators all sell the same kind of trip?
No. Each card names the package, lodge or day the operator's own website gives; group sizes, vertical, terrain, lengths and prices differ, so compare the cards before you ask for quotes.
