Helicopter snowboarding is similar to heli-skiing. In this extreme sport and/or recreational activity, a helicopter takes several brave souls out to a mountain that has a clean slope perfect for shredding, but away from the development of society. There's always a part of the outdoorsman that wants a little more adventure-but how much can you get from a developed slope?
Helicopter snowboarding is a prime example of that. Imagine going down an undeveloped slope, nothing but you and the unspoiled snow from the slope below...and you have to jump out of a helicopter to get there. Let the adrenaline rush begin!
Helicopter snowboarding officially takes place in 9 different U.S. states, and one Canadian province. As of this article, official helicopter snowboarding getaways can be bought from lodges in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, or British Columbia, Canada.
These locations make sense since the unspoiled mountains are best there. In each of these places, if the urge hits you for an adventure snowboarding down an untouched mountain, then these are the places you can find your fix. There are over fifty specific helicopter snowboarding adventures specialists who take part.
This type of snowboarding is only for the very experienced snowboarder who knows how to handle their board over all types of terrain, and who thirst for the really extreme adventure.
There are few things you can do that match going deep into nature, onto an unspoiled mountain surrounded by undeveloped beauty, and showing off your best skills down the mountainside.
The scenery is breath taking, the rush is unbeatable, and the peace and tranquility that comes from moments of respite are priceless. If you are in desperate need of a once in a lifetime vacation, a vacation that gives you great memories and a unique experience, then helicopter snowboarding might be just the thrill you've been looking for!
