Yesterday saw me and a client I have be skiing with in a helicopter with Southern Lakes Heli ski heading out to Towers Ridge thru quite low visibility. We managed to duck and dive around and get in 4 runs of deep deep powder snow before pulling the pin due to adverse light conditions. 45cms+ of new snow were what we had to play with and it was absolutely wonderful light dry powder with not to much wind effect. In fact it was so good we are going back for some more today. I will come back with another post of conditions from today's heli skiing and hopefully some photos and footage.
The great crew from R&R sports in Queenstown have lent me the Line Mothership skis for my heli skiing yesterday and today. What beasts! For the depth of snow we had they were brilliant to ride and made it all too easy. If you are going out heli talk to R&R and see if you can test ride a set for they day.
