Skiing and snowboarding at a resort provides freedom and escape. You can turn and glide to your heart’s content, free from obligations and stress. During a powder day, the cushioned sensation is like nothing else, letting you flow and float over everything in your path. It’s just you and the mountain.

But sometimes you want more. Even at a big mountain, you have limited terrain options, and fresh snow can get tracked out fast. What if you had abundant mountains to explore, untouched powder fields waiting, and a helicopter at your disposal? 

That might sound like a dream, but it’s what heli-skiing provides. For those new to the field, selecting a provider could seem daunting. Wading through the options isn’t easy, especially if your group includes varying ability levels.

Thankfully, Heliski International offers impartial guidance, helping you and your group find the perfect adventure. Let’s dive in.

Heliski International: your guide to unforgettable experiences

What’s your ideal ski trip? For us, it’s riding deep snow among stunning mountains, with no crowds in sight. Just making turns with a few friends, then relaxing at a cozy lodge at the end of the day. Add in a helicopter as an alpine concierge, and it’s an experience to remember. But first, there’s the task of selecting a heli-skiing outfit — no small thing for first-timers. Heliski International makes it easy.

Heliski International leads you to the heli-skiing adventures that suit you best while demonstrating transparency and superb service.  On the company’s website, you can peruse world-class destinations and heli-ski companies, then compare and book in one seamless process. Pick from mountains in Alaska, India, New Zealand, Greenland, and more, with established providers ready to show you the way. 

Not only that, but you’ll enjoy fine accommodations and curated meals that help you relax and enjoy ahead of the next day. That combination of luxury and adventure is central to Heliski International’s mission.

If your group has varying ability levels, the company has that covered, too. Whether beginners or seasoned pros, you and your companions can find a suitable package. 

With its unique service, Heliski International helps heli-skiing outfits sustainably grow by inspiring skiers and riders to seek out their dream trips. Additionally, the company collaborates with operators who minimize impacts on animals and the environment. It’s a win for everyone.

The company is the passion project of three devoted skiers and successful serial entrepreneurs: Patrik Gunnarson, Sebastian Bond, and Marcus Boström. Böstrom relayed the project’s goal:

“Our platform is where luxury meets adventure. We are not just a service; we are a community that thrives on delivering unparalleled heliskiing experiences to our users.”

Five Aventon E-Bikes We’d Choose for Family Rides and Weekend Adventures 
Five e-bikes from Aventon you can use to elevate your family weekend
Machine, Wheel, Accessories

Everyone loves a good bikeride. From the time you're a kid until the days of riding romantically on the beach, and finally, riding with your kids around daily or on vacation. I have gotten an opportunity to check out a lot that Aventon has to offer. From towing our kids around the neighborhood to exploring new parks, gravel paths, and campgrounds, we’ve spent time with several Aventon models in real, everyday situations. Family rides can look very different depending on the day, and each bike stood out in its own way depending on where and how we were riding. After spending time with all five, a few clear strengths started to emerge.

I finally found a robot mower that can handle a real piece of land, and it’s over $1,200 off for Prime Day
YARBO Robot Lawn Mower Pro is down to $4,734 this Prime Day, an almost $1,300 saving on a wire-free, RTK-guided machine built for properties up to 6 acres.

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with YARBO.

There's a particular kind of weekend that anyone with real acreage knows well. You look out the window at the grass and do the math on how many hours of your Saturday the mower is about to claim. I've spent enough of those weekends behind a deck to want the job handed to a robot, and the thing that always stopped me was that most robot mowers are toys built for a tidy suburban patch, not for land you measure in acres. The YARBO Robot Lawn Mower Pro is the first one I've come across that's built for the latter, and for day one of Prime Day it's dropped to $4,734 from its usual $5,999, a discount of $1,265.

REI has been in the adventure game since the 1930s. So, it's perhaps no surprise that in addition to a great selection of outdoor gear, the co-op touts some top-level staffers too. You know, those folks wandering around the store in green vests. These employees don't just work for the brand; they live the lifestyle. They hit the trails and actually test the gear, coming away with invaluable wisdom that, when shared, can make your next camping trip or visit to Joshua Tree National Park all the better.

Ed Zebrowski wears the coveted green vest. He's a product information specialist at REI, where he's worked for nearly a decade. Here, he sheds some wisdom on being equipped for and thoroughly enjoying the outdoors. We talked him up on everything from bucket list destinations to gear he can't live without. We hope that the following will amp up your summer adventure season and even allow for a better experience the next time you're in need of some gear. He's based in Michigan, but his advice is applicable to all of your outings, wherever they may take you.
