Finding a heli op based in the High Sierra has forever been the Holy Grail for West Coast riders looking to escape from the crowded slopes of SoCal and Tahoe without having to get on a plane or pull out a passport. Starting January 30th, 2026, Bridgeport, CA-based Sweetwater Heli is poised to fulfill that quest.

With a private A-Star on call and 180,000 acres of untracked terrain on tap, Sweetwater is set to provide pow seekers with a convenient, world-class, off-piste experience in the heart of the Sierras. The same terrain that was once the secret stash of slednecks, splitboarders, and professional film crews can now be enjoyed by advanced riders who book early, because with intimate groups of 4, seats are gonna go quick.
