Once you're geared up, take to the skies and soar into the backcountry to experience Utah’s legendary snow. Each exhilarating day includes 6 thrilling runs and 7 flights, allowing you to explore the breathtaking Wasatch Mountains.
After your day of adventure, return to the Powderbird heliport for included après-ski drinks and a buffet lunch as you look down Little Cottonwood Canyon into the valley below.
