Total Heliski CEO Hayley Melidonis is quick to insist The London Total Heliski Show is not like a regular ski show. She said: "Heli skiing is for people who have skied the rest and now want to ski the best. We are going to take you above and beyond at The London Total Heliski Show creating opportunities to meet the experts, and mingle with similar skiers and boarders in an exciting, yet intimate, luxury setting."
And former Olympian, Graham Bell of Ski Sunday said: " "I'm really looking forward to meeting like minded individuals who have a passion for heli skiing. The London Total Heliski Show is just the right place to find new locations to heliski and plan your next mountain adventure. There is no better feeling in the world, when the helicopter pulls away leaving you on top of powder field so fresh and deep you'll need a snorkel to breathe. Time to shred some lines and take some face shots."

About heli skiing and cat skiing:
Heli skiing is a means of providing direct access to skiing and boarding the world's best peaks for the ultimate powder snow holiday. A typical experience involves transporting small groups of skiers and boarders in powerful helicopters to the top of majestic peaks which are outside the boundaries of ski resorts, to ski the highly sought after fresh powder snow. Cat skiing works off the same principles, except a snow cat is used as the transport instead. Total Heliski are specialists who work with the best operators in the world like Bella Coola Helisports in BC Canada, who boast a heliski area as vast as the Swiss Alps shared amongst only 16 clients.
