Heli-Ski Trips, Shaped Through Experience
Patrick guides heli-ski trips himself each winter — built around one private group, strong terrain access, and a high fly rate that helps keep down days to a minimum. His background as a professional guide, avalanche forecaster, and mountain educator shapes every trip around the group, timing, and conditions.
Built Around One Private Group
The best heli-ski trips come from matching the right group with the right terrain, timing, and conditions. As a working heli-ski guide, Patrick brings that experience directly to every trip — built around one private group, strong terrain access, and a high fly rate that helps keep weather-related down days to a minimum. He shapes each trip around the group's goals, ability, timing, terrain, and conditions.

A Working Heli-Ski Guide
Heli-skiing is the primary focus of Patrick's winter work. He's a professional heli-ski guide and avalanche forecaster with over a decade in the field, guiding each winter season [[in Alaska — name Third Edge Heli here once you've confirmed they're comfortable being named]] with additional guiding work in Utah and other locations.
Trips are built around one private group, strong terrain access, and a high fly rate that helps keep down days to a minimum. Patrick shapes each trip around the group's goals, ability, timing, terrain preferences, and conditions — and when a different destination or format is a better fit, he can help guests find that too.
Heli-Ski Pricing & Availability
Patrick’s primary heli-ski focus is guided trips built around one private group. Pricing and availability vary by program, location, dates, group size, aircraft setup, lodging, and trip format. When another destination or structure is a better fit, he can help guests explore select options through established programs in Utah, Alaska, and South America.
