Helicopter Skiing

The soaring of the human spirit has been celebrated in many ways. Some, like the author Antoine de St. Exupery, considered their flying machines to be a metaphor for the flight of the soul. Alpine skiers embrace the longing for flight by soaring down magnificent mountains. It is not surprising that many fans of big mountain skiing also have an interest in small aircraft flying. Helicopter skiing satisfies the need for the spiritual and physical thrills of flight.

Carl Gustav Jung believed that flying is a metaphor for liberty, confidence and transcendence. He interpreted dreams of flight as expressions of "euphoria and grandiosity." For centuries, our fascination with flight has inspired both art and science.

As early as the fourth century A.D., a Chinese book entitled Pao Phu Tau tells us a story of the "Master" and his "flying cars." In the 1500s, Leonardo Da Vinci created sketches that would later influence the creation of the modern day helicopter. Although advances in aviation have made flying accessible to more people, the pure, organic thrill of flight is best experienced from inside a helicopter.
