Equipment

 

Clothing

The climate is similar to that of the Alps, so your standard ski wear will be fine for your heliskiing week in Turkey.

As you ride up in the warmth of a helicopter and not on a chair-lift, you shouldn’t feel the cold as much as on a ski field.

Footwear

Don't forget to bring your own comfortable ski or snowboard boots.

In the bases there are enough lockers for all clients and they are equipped with boot heaters for drying your ski and snowboard boots.

We recommend you also bring walking boots for activities such as snowshoeing and walks through the snow.

Accessories

2 pairs of gloves. Your gloves will get wet very quickly as you put on and take off your skis for each descent, so bring one or two spare pairs

Sun protection: sun cream and sunglasses. As everywhere in the mountains, the sun's glare here is extremely intense. Make sure you bring sunglasses offering a minimum of category 3 protection.

Ski glasses/goggles. If there is deep powder, even in fine weather your sunglasses will quickly fill with powder as it flies up over your head!

We recommend you bring a helmet.

Skis

We recommend you use equipment designed for deep snow (fat skis or long snowboard). You can bring this kind of skiing/boarding gear with you or use the equipment especially provided at our bases:

• 158cm to 193cm 'Pure' or 'Mission' fat skis by SCOTT
