Telluride Helitrax completed its 25th season of helicopter skiing on April 14th. It was one of the very best days of the season, 12 to 16 inches of fabulous mid-winter powder!Although conditions in the month of April in the San Juans are once again the best of the season, we are forced to close due to a lack of business. Most skiers are no longer thinking about skiing, only the die-hards remain.
Keep Skiing... Life is Short...Winter is Even Shorter!
Cold powder, deep and stable snowpack: Join us in April 2008 for Powder skiing! The San Juan Mountains offer high elevation heliskiing which makes late March and April superb months for powder skiing in the San Juans. Due to increased stability it is also the best time period to ski the widest variety of terrain from the 13,000 foot summits that make up our 350 square mile permit area.. Speaking of terrain, Helitrax's terrain represents the highest elevation helicopter ski terrain in North America. What this means is that even when it is 55 degrees and spring in the valleys far below there is cold powder skiing to be found on the high north facing slopes far above.
