A Different Perspective On Jackson Hole

Sitting just ten miles away from downtown Jackson Hole, Wyoming, High Mountain Heli has incredible access to 4 distinct mountain ranges in the surrounding area. Their tenure adds up to more than 300,000 acres of open bowls, perfectly spaced trees and steep chutes. On top of the basically endless terrain, their 4 mountain ranges average over 500 inches of snow per year, which means you are guaranteed some mind-blowing powder turns.

The operation has been around since 1974, which gives them an intimate knowledge of their available terrain. They combine this with extremely experienced guides who are all active mountaineers, giving them expansive knowledge of the snowpack and a love for the outdoors and the mountains that transcends their guiding job. This is all to say you will be in extremely good hands when exploring extremely remote terrain with High Mountain Heli

Cowboy Pow: High Mountain Heli Serves Up A Different Kind Of Jackson Hole Experience

When Jackson Hole-based High Mountain Heli (HMH) was founded in 1974, it wasn’t just Wyoming’s first heli-ski operation—it was one of the first in the country. Back then, the upstart crew embodied the rugged spirit of the Wild West. The skis were long and straight, sunglasses were preferred over goggles and the heli’s dashboard was a great place to thaw your frozen sandwich. Despite the rough edges, hundreds of thousands of acres of untouched powder were accessible, resulting in millions of deep turn potential.

Getting There

Getting There

Regular flights arrive at Jackson Hole Airport (12 miles north of Jackson, WY) from major cities, including: Denver, Salt Lake City, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Newark, Phoenix, San Francisco and Seattle. You can also drive there—4WD is highly recommended. The closest major city is Salt Lake, which is 4.5 hours to the south.

Additionally, because HMH owns its own helicopter, private aerial transfers (or whatever else you can dream up) can be arranged. Worth noting, HMH has access to a private plane which allows them to offer custom out-of-state travel itineraries for those who prefer to avoid the hassles of TSA security lines.

HMH’s two local bases are located at the Snake River Sporting Club, 19 miles south of Jackson, WY and Teton Springs Lodge, 24 miles to the east in Victor, ID.

The Skiing

HMH has over 3,500 acres of permitted terrain across two states and four mountain ranges. This gives them the ability to choose appropriate terrain for each group. You should be in top physical shape and have experience skiing powder. It’s best to book a trip with three friends (four total per group) who ski at the same skill level. If that’s not an option HMH will match you with a group of similar ability.

Runs per Day: 6 (approx. 15,000 vert. ft.)

Average Annual Snowfall: 500+ inches/year

Dates: HMH’s season runs from December 18, 2024 – April 9, 2025

Rates: Single Day – $1,900/person; 3-Day – $5,400/person; Private Group of 3-8 people – $8,300/hr (3 hour minimum)Contact: www.heliskijackson.com; reservations@highmtnheli.com; (307) 690-8310

Accommodation and Dining

Accommodation and Dining

In addition to HMH’s partner lodges (Snake River Sporting Club in Hoback, WY and Teton Springs Lodge in Victor, ID) Jackson Hole has a variety of lodging options that range from the no frills Super 8 to the luxurious Four Seasons. Mountain Modern, just a few blocks off the town square, is a great option that offers comfortable accommodations at an affordable price.

Along the same vein, restaurant options run the gamut, from fast food to fine dining. Some of our favorites include: Bin22—a wine bar serving Italian and Spanish small plates—and The Bird—a laid-back locals joint that serves comfort food with a wide selection of brews.
