There are ski trips you remember…and then there are ski trips that quietly reset your idea of what skiing even is.
Greenland does that.
Most people have never skied anything like what’s found amongst the fjords of Greenland with Greenland Heli Skiing. And Hans’ Solmssen’s operation is not about luxury, nor is it about the thrill of a helicopter—it’s the sheer scale of the mountains there. Vast. Wild. Totally untamed and littered with several thousand feet long, world-class ski descents straight to the Arctic Ocean.
The late skiing icon Doug Coombs put it best years ago when he called it:
“Alaska on steroids.”
Hans Solmssen has been guiding for over 40 years. Swiss certified. Ocean skipper. Kitesurf instructor. One of those quietly legendary figures who doesn’t boast—but whose life tells the full story. He doesn’t sell hype. He sells access—access to a dream.
And for April 2026, there are still a few rare openings.
2026 Greenland Heli Ski Dates (Thursday–Thursday):
-
April 2-9 – Available
-
April 9-16 – sold out
-
April 16-23 – Still open
Come Ski Greenland With Miles
And, if enough seats are filled, our very own SnowBrains CEO and Founder Miles Clark will be guiding the week of April 16-23 in Greenland.
Heliskiing in Greenland is different because:
-
The mountains rise directly from the ocean
-
The lines are huge, clean, and consistent
-
The terrain goes on forever
-
Stable coastal snowpack favors long descents
-
Ski touring is possible—but these mountains truly shine with helicopters
In Greenland, it’s not necessarily about how steep it gets. It’s about the quality of the run for thousands upon thousands of vertical feet. These aren’t quick and rowdy Alaska spines. These are full-length, dream-then-drool-over mountain experiences. These lines are in prime condition in April. Hans will be in Greenland from April 2-23, 2026, running continuous heli operations across those three weeks.

Heli weeks are finite. Seats disappear quietly. And Greenland doesn’t feel real until you’re standing inside it with a rotor spinning overhead.
If you’ve been waiting for a ski trip that actually changes your internal scale of what “big” means—this is it.
