HeliPark is an environment for free-skiers and riders to train or play in powder, and for photographers and teams to work in, successfully. It's another world first for NZ. You buy the Heli Park access pass for just $200. This includes your first run. The helicopter flies all day, dropping groups into different spots. You pay $75 per lift and ski as many or as few of those runs as you want. If you do fifteen runs that's fine. If you want to take a break to build a kicker or eat some cake that's cool too. It's your day and your budget. Heli Park is at Mt.Potts, near Methven. We used to cat-ski here but all those lines we couldn't access were starting to bother us. This is our solution. Viva la revolución!
