Heli boarding in Austria - Freeride Austria Ltd is for snowboarders only!
14 May 2010
When I think of destinations for heli skiing, first that comes to mind is Alaska followed by the Canadian Rockies and then most probably New Zealand.  So I was surprised to hear of an Austrian heli operation based out of Schruns, near Arlberg.  However to my great delight this operation proved to be a superb heli boarding company that by nature subscribes to the ‘Board the World’ philosophy of sharing one’s passion for snowboarding with other snowboarders. more >>

Indy 5000 2 - Credit: The Mountain Weekly, www.themountainweekly.net An Alaska Heli Experience
03 May 2008

We arrived in Haines on the ferry from Juneau.  The 3 hour ferry ride over was amazing, when the peaks of Alaska finally started to break thru we knew we were in for a real treat. Haines is a tiny little in the middle of nowhere Alaska.

Once we got checked into the hotel we decided to head out to Mile 33 Road House and the Alaska Helisking operation run by Seandog. The drive from town was unreal; we saw huge moose, so many bald eagles they started to look like ordinary birds. This is a great way to get out of the hustle and bustle of city life.
