Thursday, we took a couple runs in Box Canyon and the PC ridge line. We hosted an avalanche awareness class at our base at the Canyons Resort. It was a great success, participants took a heli ride to the PC ridge line and did some field work. A more educated public makes the backcountry safer for all of us. We are fortunate to have so many great resources here in the Wasatch.
Friday, 2-7-14, If weather allows we will be operating in the tri-canyons, American Fork, Cascade, and the PC circuit. We could be at the start of a very productive storm cycle, looking forward to more powder skiing!

- Powderbird
- Based at Snowbird and Canyons Ski Areas, Powderbird Helicopter Skiing operates throughout the beautiful Wasatch Mountains of Northern Utah.
- Powderbird provides guided access for the general public on specific permitted portions of the Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forest. All of our operations occur within multiple use areas that are intended to be shared by a variety of users. In order to facilitate this sharing Powderbird posts information noting the main drainages in which we will likely operate as well as areas where we will not be operating in order to help other backcountry users in their decisions. Although we take dozens of skiers into the backcountry each day we use multiple helicopters to spread out our operations from Ogden to Provo in order to limit our use of popular and congested areas. We do not operate in Big, Little or Mill Creek Canyons (Tri-Canyon Area) on any Sundays, and most Mondays. Weather permitting we generally operate at least one helicopter somewhere in the Tri-Canyon Area the other days of the week. Since 1973, Powderbird has offered some of the most exciting helicopter skiing in Utah and around the world. Our staff and qualified guides work to ensure that you have an amazing time. Visit our website or call us at 801-742-2800 to make a reservation. We look forward to skiing with you!
