That's when you use a helicopter instead of a ski lift to get to the start position of the skiing.

What type of snow is best for skiing?
Well the best snow for skiing is powder, most of the time, if you're just skiing for fun, and not racing. Powder snow is snow that has not been touched, is soft and deep, most of the time freshly laid that day or night. Powder snow is really great to ski on, as it gives a sense of weightlessness about your skiing. I you've heard of back country or heliskiing, this is what these groups are going to find, people pay a lot of money for it.
What is a skiing holiday?
Camping is an outdoor recreational activity that involves sleeping several nights outside in either a tent, caravan, motorhome or sometimes no shelter. Camping is meant to be a way for anyone and everyone to get back to the basics and enjoy all that nature has to offer. Camping, unlike other holidays, does not cater to those who are better off financially. Camping is a recreational activity that anyone, no matter their circumstances, can enjoy. Oddly enough, camping by yourself or with family can be one of the best ways to spend your time. Somehow it clears your mind and body and will bring you closer to the beauty and simplicity that is outdoors. Many people also find the time spent camping also brings you closer to those you love. Yes, there may be insects that get on your nerves and yes you will get dirt under your finger nails, but there is nothing quite like camping in the great outdoors. If you haven't tried camping I strongly recommend you try it soon. Otherwise you'll miss out on something great!
How big is the ice hotel?
There are many ice hotels but here are a few: Sweden Existing each year between December and April, the Icehotel in the village of Jukkasjärvi, about 17 km from Kiruna, Sweden was the world's first ice hotel. In 1989, Japanese ice artists visited the area and created an exhibition of ice art. In Spring 1990, French artist Jannot Derid held an exhibition in a cylinder-shaped igloo in the area. One night there were no rooms available in the town, so some of the visitors asked for permission to spend the night in the exhibition hall. They slept in sleeping bags on top of reindeer skin - the first guests of the "hotel". The entire hotel is made out of snow and ice blocks taken from the Torne River - even the glasses in the bar are made of ice. Each spring, around March, Icehotel harvests tons of ice from the frozen Torne River and stores it in a nearby production hall with room for over 10,000 tons of ice and 30,000 tons of snow. The ice is used for creating Icebar designs and ice glasses, for ice sculpting classes, events and product launches all over the world while the snow is used for building a strong structure for the building. About 1,000 tons of what is left is used in the construction of the next Icehotel. Canada The Hôtel de Glace celebrated its 10 year anniversary in 2010. It is located on the shores of Lac-Saint-Joseph, Quebec, just 30 minutes north of Québec City. It operates from the first week in January to the last week in March.[1] It was the first ever in the world to make a bed and everything else out of ice Romania 2006, the first ice hotel in Eastern Europe was built in Romania, deep in the Făgăraş Mountains, at an altitude of 2034 m. Due to its altitude and remote location the Ice Hotel is only accessible via cable car in the winter. This picturesque setting is next to Bâlea Lake, where each year local craftsmen wait for the lake to freeze, before using the ice to build the small 10 room Ice Hotel and its adjacent Ice Church. Local artists imitate sculptures by Romanian born modernist sculptor, Constantin Brancusi. Typically the hotel is completed in December and is open until it melts in late April or early May. Bedding, furs, specialist sleeping bags are all provided, with bathroom facilities nearby. There are also two chalets within walking distance, which also provide accommodation. Activities such as skiing, sledging or perhaps a ride on a snow bike are on offer. For those who are more organised and adventurous you can even arrange heliskiing. The Bâlea Lake Ice Hotel is Romanian owned, but has a relationship with a travel company Untravelled Paths Limited, based in the United Kingdom. Finland Snow Village is located in Western part of Finnish Lapland, in close proximity of Ylläs and Levi ski-resorts and easily reachable from the international airport of Kittilä. The annual construction of the Snow Village begins when the temperature drops to about −10 °C (14 °F) which is usually at the end of October or the beginning of November. Approximately 1500 tonnes (1650 US tons) of snow and 300 tonnes (330 US tons) of crystal clear, natural ice are used for the construction. The constructors, specialized in using snow and ice as building material, are constantly developing new tools and instruments for snow construction and exploring innovative ways of taking this artform into new levels. Snow Village is built entirely of snow and ice covering approximately an area of 20,000 square metres (220,000 sq ft). During the winter season, about 3,000 square metres (32,000 sq ft) of covered indoor spaces are built as a combination of different snow and ice structures. The architectural design and the themes of interior decoration vary from year to year. Visitors can find in there for example the biggest ice dome of Europe and an à la carte restaurant with ice carved tables and bar, in addition to snow galleries full of beautifully illuminated ice art.
