In January and February 2013 we are heading to the small mountain village of Arkhyz in the Russian Caucaus to sample some of the best heli skiing Russia has to offer. Jossi Lindblom and the boys from Salomon Freeski TV were there last winter making an awesome short film. Here's a closer look at what you can expect.
This is not your regular Canadian heli-skiing. This is big wild northern British Columbia and compared to southern BC with all of its heli-ski operations sandwiched together; it’s like a different country.
A more distant, end of the earth type place would be hard to imagine and for the past four years I had dreamed of skiing these gigantic volcanoes that rise so abruptly from the mythical sounding, Sea of Okhotsk.
Now, to complement the rustic charm and family history of Klaensholl; guests have the choice of opting for on-the-edge-of-the-fjord luxury. Or, for those ready for the adventure of a lifetime – jump aboard the ‘Ring of Fire’ heliski tour.
