If you are willing to attempt the expensive end of the snow sports market, then helicopter access from Russia is a great, reasonably priced option. I travelled independently to the village of Dombai, nestled in the southern Caucasus, close to the Georgian boarder, with my Russian friend and photographer Denis.
For this trip we planned to take on the mountains of the Caucasus Range in an enormous ex-military Russian army helicopter, the 30 person Mi8.
We paid cash for a 3 day heliboarding package at the very helpful and organised adventure tour specialists ‘AlpIndustria’ (www.helikaukas.com) located at their large and well stocked Moscow outdoor equipment shop the day before we flew to Dombai.
