Snowbird goes international.
International Helicopter Skiing Trips
Brought to you by Snowbird and operated by Powderbird, an international helicopter skiing trip with us features world-class skiing in virtually unlimited terrain and a vibrant off-snow experience. The Powderbird guide team has hosted international trips for over 20 years and has established operational protocols and safety measures modeled after its' Utah operation and Heli-ski US guidelines to bring you the best possible experience.
Space is limited, so don't miss your chance to lay tracks in Argentina's most coveted ski terrain.
Powderbird | Argentina | Summer
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.
