HELIBASICS
Tordrillo North at Winterlake Lodge offers experiences for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. We utilize 5-passenger high-performance Eurocopter A-Star helicopters chosen for unparalleled high-altitude safety, capabilities, and performance. Our guides are experienced Alaska guides who put customer safety and satisfaction FIRST. Conditions permitting, you will ski the type of runs YOU want to ski. It is recommended that you configure your team into groups of four with similar desires and abilities.
Tordrillo North recognizes the trust some clients have built with their heli ski guides over the years. This is why we not only invite but encourage guests to bring their own qualified guides. Jim Conway has extensive experience working with guides from all over the world. He has a strong team-based program that allows private guides to safely and effectively lead their groups through our terrain. Have your guide call us for details.
