Snowbird goes international.
International Helicopter Skiing Trips
Brought to you by Snowbird and operated by Powderbird, these international helicopter skiing trips feature world-class skiing in virtually unlimited terrain and a vibrant off-snow experience. The Powderbird guide team has been helicopter skiing in Greenland since 2002 and in Argentina since 2008. Working with local experts, Powderbird has established operational protocols and safety measures modeled after Utah operation and Heliski US guidelines to bring you the best possible experience.
Space is limited, so don't miss your chance to lay tracks in Argentina and Greenland's most coveted ski terrain.
Powderbird | Argentina | Summer 2023
Some of Argentina's best ski terrain is located in the lesser-known El Azufre Valley. The valley hosts volcanos and peaks ranging from 10-13,000 feet with descents running over 5,000 vertical feet, all while receiving 450"+ of snow a year. Whether you are an advanced-intermediate skier who enjoys long cruiser runs, or an expert skier looking for new challenges, the El Azufre Valley's breadth of striking, rarely-skied terrain has something for you.
On-site, the dedicated aviation and guide team will take you into the mountains via helicopter or—in instances of inclement weather—snowcat.
