TRAVEL SPECIAL.... EXTREME ADVENTURE - License To Chill

EXTREME ADVENTURE - License To Chill


Winter spells adventure like none other. Take off to a region that wraps a thick blanket of snow to experience the real thrill
What is winter without the adrenaline-packed sports? If you've always fancied high-risk winter sports but have been deterred by the risk factor, then heli-skiing is perfect for you.
Whistler occupies a prime position, when it comes to heli-skiing. Nestled in the British Colombia province of Canada, it offers 432,000 acres of mountainous terrain, which includes 173 glaciers and 475 runs. Hence, it is perfect for the intermediate, advanced and expert skiiers and boarders.It is not just a sport that gives you a rush; the tiny specks of snow floating in the morning sun is a sight to behold. On any given day the area and its borders are frequented by not more than 50 skiiers, which allow an untracked snow carpet all day . The terrain choice is carefully selected by the guide to suit the ability and stamina levels of the skiiers.


What is Heli-skiing?


A heli-skiing adventure is a perfect mix of two adventures; a breath-taking helicopter ride followed by skiing. Your expedition begins the moment you step into the helicopter, which transports you to a rather untouched area, allowing you to accesses the steep slopes and niche skiing areas. Flying high above the spectacular mountains, gazing at the acres of snow carpeted areas enveloped by towering peaks, alpine bowls and rolling ridge lines make for an impressive panorama.Your guide then helps you enjoy the fresh powder snow to ski and ride those nameless runs. Be forewarned: once you get addicted to gliding on snow, it may make you want to take a break from your corporate job and just dwell here.
