The mountainous terrain that covers much of Turkey is an ideal one for creating a number of exciting skiing conditions such as deep powder, granular crystal or sugar snow and what's known as corn snow. Being able to access these conditions when there are no facilities requires a helicopter with experienced guides and proper safety equipment. What skier does not dream of ideal skiing conditions without long lift lines and crowded trails? For over seven years Turkey Heliski has been one such solid team of international guides, pilots and mountain lovers based out of Verbier, Switzerland.
