Tulsequah Heliskiing
TQH fulfills a Heliskiers & Heliboarders Dream. With Tulsequah Heliskiing you ski as a Private group 1-5 skiers / boarders, or as Semi-private group 6-10 skiers/boarders. [with most other heliski company’s charging the same price, you have to ski/ ride with up to 10 people per group, 3 to 4 groups per helicopter, so 30 to 40 skiers ski the same run! Once every 3-4 days you will be in the first group down, other day’s 30+ skiers have skied the run before you get to the top!] With TQH, you will not have to share the area with any other group! It is just you and your team of friends!
You will have first tracks every day!
