Stellar has over 20 years of heliski experience in Haines and takes pride in showing guests the best and safest experiences, from low angle glacier runs to wide open powder bowls. Enjoy mountain top barbeque lunches with some of Alaska’s most breathtaking views. With an average of 500 inches of annual snowfall, this is where guests come for the best snow and terrain on the planet.  

Stellar provides the ultimate South American experience by establishing heli in/out lodging whether we are in the Mountains, downtown Santiago, or at the beach. We will begin our week at the mountain lodge in Farellones where we will warm up the ski legs on one of three ski resorts . We will then transition our focus to helicopter skiing the rest of the week while having snowmobiles on standby as backup. There is nothing quite like being dropped off high in the Andes with breathtaking views and long vertical descents.  

At the end of the week we have the option to transition to the City where we will stay at the W Hotel and fly off the rooftop in the helicopter, ultimately letting mother nature decide if we will continue to chase powder or escape to the pacific coast for an overnight at the beach. 

DAY 1: Arrive Santiago early morning/ Airport pickup and transfer to Farellones / La Parva Resort

DAY 2-7:  Heli ski the most  incredible terrain on the planet with the most experienced guides and pilots in the region with brand new A star B3E helicopters and the Largest lift accessed terrain in the Southern Hemisphere as as backup.

DAY 6-7 Alternative: Utilize the helicopter to provide the best overall experience in Chile: skiing/snowmobiling/ surfing/winery. Heli transfer to the W hotel to finish the week flying from downtown Santiago (if desired)

Day 7: Depart  for Santiago Airport after ski day (evening flight).
