Why Is Heli Skiing So Dangerous?

People are injured or killed by heli skiing activities, because of the nature of the sport. The action of heli skiing will involve skiing or snowboarding in the remote backcountry areas of a mountain to experience snow that no one has probably skied on before. It will be a seriously risky and hazardous adventure, that can be marred with dangerous conditions, including:

  • Avalanches
  • Fatal falling into crevices
  • Collisions with trees and other stationery objects

Adventurous individuals and thrill seekers will jump at the chance to go heli skiing. Individuals who are dreaming of trekking on snow no one has skied on before, and traversing in back country terrain will pursue the extreme sport of heli skiing. These skiers will risk everything to be able to ski at some of the world’s most sought after locations, and they will also risk their lives for there are seriously deadly hazards and risks of death involved with the sport of heli skiing.

What Are the Typical Risks of Heli Skiing?

The typical risks of heli skiing are some of the same risks of skiing, only worse. The typical hazards that can befall heli skiers include:

  • Avalanches coming off of a mountain burying a skier
  • Hitting a tree well
  • Going off of a cliff
  • Falling into a glacier crevasse
  • Hitting a buried natural obstacle
  • Going into challenging travel conditions
  • Experiencing an unintended fall off of a cliff
  • Getting stuck in a freak blizzard
  • Frostbite
  • Dehydration
  • Hypothermia
  • Death
  • Head injuries that lead to fatal coma

The risks of heli skiing in backcountry areas will always be there, and a heli skier will need to always weigh those risks before heading out to ski from a helicopter. Many times, there is no one on the ground to verify the safety of the conditions, before the person exits the helicopter to begin a downhill skiing run.

Why Are the Helicopter Skiing Guides Responsible for Your Safety When You Are Heli Skiing?

A helicopter skiing guide is responsible for you, if you pay the guide to take you to a heli skiing location and help you exit the helicopter – that individual is responsible to ensure your safety at all stages of your extreme sporting trip. This means that the heli skiing guide needs to understand and know how to read and identify dangerous conditions on the snow mountain that you are skiing, and you will have put your trust, albeit your life, in the hands of the heli skiing guide. If you are injured on a heli skiing extreme sporting trip, the heli skiing guide, the guide company and possibly other parties will be responsible for paying you for your losses, damages, personal injuries and other expenses related to your heli skiing accident case.
