Powderbird Heli-Skiing

Explore the Wasatch Mountain Range from the sky, then get on the ground and ski in deep, fresh powder with Powderbird. Started in 1973, Powderbird is one of the world’s first helicopter skiing operators and the only permitted ski helicopter outfitter in Utah. Not only do you get great aerial views of this beautiful mountain range, but you have access to untouched lines and back terrain near Alta only accessible by helicopter. It’s a great way to see Utah and make the mountains feel like your own personal ski haven.

At Powderbird, the search for the best snow never stops.

No matter the weather, their professional guide team is committed to taking clients to the absolute best skiing they can find- whether that’s via helicopter, cat, lift or touring. All from a location that re-defines accessible backcountry terrain.
