Your equipment:

• Dress for similar climate to the Alps
  The helicopters are heated and you can store some equipment inside.
  We recommend multi layer out-fits and spare gloves and goggles. Due to high winds the wind-chill factor
  is often an important consideration, and we recommend some extra protect your face and the use of a helmet.
• The skis
  (possibly equipped with a ski touring binding and skins) should be selected for big turns on untracked slopes
  with changeable snow, from powder, to crust, to icy slope entrances (due to steam from active volcanoes).
• Your ability
  Comfortable with changeable snow conditions, good control in difficult snow conditions
  and a good level of fitness since most runs are between 1000m to 2000m in length.

 

Your ski clothing should keep you comfortable between minus 15 degrees Celsius and plus five degrees Celsius. Footwear suitable for slushy conditions and a raincoat are useful for excursions on no-fly days. Ski boots and snowboards are not available at our operations. In addition to your ski clothes we recommend:

• waterproof boots or shoes
• waterproof jacket
• thermal underwear, warm clothes and sweaters
• gloves, warm socks, scarf or neck gaiters
• sunglasses and goggles, warm cap or hat
