Avalanche Airbag

Every Guest, Every Day

To further safeguard every outing, Southern Lakes Heliski (SLHS) equips all guests with avalanche airbags as standard safety equipment. To operate the system correctly, each participant must be able to reach across their body with their right hand and touch the top of their left shoulder.

Our guides manage avalanche risk by pairing their extensive expertise with up-to-the-minute observations, selecting terrain that suits the day’s conditions. Throughout the season the team is in the field, monitoring the snowpack and weather patterns; their local insight allows for highly accurate assessments.

  • Such a fantastic day with Southern Lakes Heliski. Our guide and pilot were amazing and highly safety conscious. For someone who was very nervous about flying, they eased my concerns. We stopped for a delicious, gourmet lunch, in a little secluded hut surrounded by snow topped mountains. 10/10 - you may never be able to ski the resorts again after this experience!

  • 5-stars to the Southern Lakes Heliski team who pulled together a brilliant day in the mountains. I can't wait until the next trip. Not sure I will ever be able to stand in queues again!

  • What really made it special was the care Southern Lakes Heliski showed to ensure we had an amazing day. As first time heli-skiers, our guide and pilot made us feel so relaxed and confident; ensuring we all had a safe and enjoyable time. The lunch was divine and the apres lakeside drinks and nibbles topped off the most epic day. This was a bucket list experience for me, that I'll never forget for all the right reasons.

  • Absolutely awesome experience. Our guide was superb and took excellent care of u, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and had an incredible experience. The views, guides, pilots and mountain top lunch were all brilliant... while the untracked runs were unlike anything we had ever skied in New Zealand! Such an incredible experience, we booked again for the very next day!
