Winter 2008
Welcome to the new season, as usual we are slow posting updated pricing but it requires some deep thought and a bit of time, neither of which come easily to us down here on the farm.Fuel costs are clearly a major factor again this year, so we have been forced to increase prices to try and keep pace with this.
Day trips with both heli runs and rope tow time are planned again this season, these will be run by Southern Lakes Heliski and you will need to book through them for those, there will be a link here soon to access that information.
Below are prices for 1, 2 and 3 day trips, if you have a specific format for your trip in mind that doesn't conform to what you see here, do get in touch and we will work out a plan for you.
We
have a huge area of ungroomed snow on a convex slope accessible from
the rope tow – 700m long, giving 300m vertical lift, from
roughly 1500m a.s.l. to 1800m a.s.l. Snow conditions tend to
be dry powder early in the season with good Spring snow later on.
Slopes are wide open and sunny all day, but the terrain also
offers plenty of gullies and chutes for more adventurous souls in
search of a natural terrain park – it’s very varied
and it’s completely up to you what line you take down the
mountain.  |
Please
note that walking in to the field is NOT AN OPTION. It's a
long
way, traverses several avalanche paths and doesn't really take into
account how our staff and equipment are going to get up
there!
Logistically and safety-wise it is just too scary for us. Please also remember that everything you bring in you must take out with you (like bottles, cans etc). All rubbish must be flown out of the alpine area, so please try to minimise potential waste when you're packing stuff to bring. These prices are based on a certain number of heli-loads. If you bring so much gear that we need an extra trip, we will bill you for it! For an overnight trip, a pack to hold your sleeping bag, a change of clothes and some food should about cover it. |
Bookings
are secured by making a 10% deposit. "No-shows" really waste our time and money and make us grumpy, so here is our policy regarding cancellations: make sure your team is rock solid before booking! Any cancellations must be in writing. A 10% cancellation fee will be levied up to 3 weeks (21 days) before your booked trip commences, a 20% fee up to 6 days prior and thereafter a 100% fee will be levied. In the event that Invincible Snowfields cancels your trip, due to weather or other issues, a 100% refund will be issued. We won't make you pay or go up the hill if the snow conditions are not satisfactory. |

Heli Hut |
  |
 |
| This trip is all about
simply staying overnight in an alpine setting. It does not include any skiing or riding opportunities but there is a sled... |
Our
Heli Hut trip gives you the chance to overnight in a spectacular wintry
world, safely tucked up in a fully insulated hut heated by a potbelly
stove. Perfect for small-scale celebrations, a family
adventure
or simply a break from hectic lives, the hut is a warm oasis in a
frozen wilderness. Experience life at altitude and marvel at the backdrop of mountain peaks, revel in the isolation and unwind amidst the solitude. Enjoy the thrill of a helicopter flight into a remote and special wilderness, then spend one night cocooned in your own snug nest amidst the splendour of frozen peaks and valleys. |
