Himalayaheliski operates with the lowest guide-to-guest ratio in the world (1:3) and with a maximum of 12 skiers at any one time. Our guides are internationally certified and experienced heli-ski professionals. They have emergency medical skills and are experts in snow safety, rescue techniques and mountain travel. All have worked with heli-ski operations worldwide. Our low number of guests allows us to provide a level of security not normally available. Each guest will be given an avalanche transceiver and -bag and will be instructed on its use at the beginning of each week. The helicopters carry extensive rescue and emergency gear and are equipped with radios for communication with the guides and base.
