Powderbird, founded in 1973, is a leader in helicopter skiing, offering premier single-day and multi-day heli-skiing and lodging packages. Based at Snowbird Resort in Utah, we are the only permitted helicopter ski outfitter in the state. Our heli-skiing and riding adventures depart daily from our heliport located slopeside at Snowbird, and we also offer guided expeditions at destinations around the world, including the Arctic mountains of Greenland.
Our operations include a fleet of high-performance aircraft and a team of experienced guides dedicated to providing exceptional mountain experiences. When weather conditions limit helicopter access, we offer alternative full-day guided skiing at Snowbird, complete with lift line access and amenities at The Cliff Lodge. Powderbird’s unique location in the Wasatch Mountains, just 45 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport, makes it an ideal place to work for those passionate about skiing and the outdoors.
