Telluride Helitrax

Explore Telluride and Go Heli-skiing in This Episode of 'Walk With T+L'

"For an off-piste adrenaline rush I go with Helitrax, a full-service helicopter-skiing operator that has been running since 1982 and holds the exclusive permit for operating in the San Juan Mountains; you don't have to be an expert to try it, but the team recommends being comfortable on Telluride's black-diamond runs or considering yourself an advanced intermediate, and if you're up for it you'll get access to roughly 200 square miles of untouched alpine terrain with no other tracks in sight." - Skye Sherman Skye Sherman Skye Sherman is a travel writer based in West Palm Beach, Florida.
