For Australians dreaming of Canadian Mountains


Australia’s
Heli-Ski Specialist

I’m Marlee Hawkins, the founder of Heli Dreams and your go-to for all things ski and snow. That’s me, smiling in the picture!

With over ten years of experience planning custom ski and heli-skiing trips, nothing brings me more joy than creating memorable winter adventures.

I lived in Canada for seven years and explored 14 North American ski resorts while I was there.

I worked in heli lodges during this time and I am very lucky to say I have been heli-skiing around 30 times (yes, it’s just as magical as it sounds!)

I’m here to share that thrill with you, inspire your next adventure, answer any questions, and make sure you’re as stoked about heli-skiing as I am.

If you have any questions, share your details and any questions you have, and I will get back to you right away.

Feel free to call me anytime. I love to talk skiing!

Let’s Talk Heli-Skiing

Whether you’re just dreaming or ready to start planning
your ultimate bucket list trip, we would love to hear from you.

“If you don’t do it this year,

you will be one year older when you do”

- Warren Miller

Typical Day

  • The heli takes off, flying above pristine mountain terrain.

    You look out the window and see untouched snow-covered peaks and endless alpine valley.

    You land and exit the aircraft.

  • The helicopter’s buzz fades away, and you take a moment to appreciate the peaceful silence and natural beauty of the backcountry wilderness.

    It's just you and a few others.

    No crowds, no lift lines, and no worries, just the best snow that North America has to offer.

  • With the helicopter picking you up after each run, there’s no waiting.

    Just continuous epic skiing and snowboarding.

    Each run is pure perfection, untouched champagne powder and an exhilarating rush of wide-open terrain.

  • And it’s not just about skiing and snowboarding - although that part is spectacular.

    Camaraderie among new and old friends.

    Pushing boundaries and escaping the mundane in untouched landscapes.

  • After your amazing day on the slopes, you retreat to your cozy lodge.

    Guests gather for après-ski drinks, local beers, fine wines, and signature cocktails.

    The evening features gourmet dining, a crackling fire, starlit hot tub soaks, and the timeless charm of lodge life.

  • It felt like the kind of day you dream about.

    And as you drift off to sleep, you can’t help but smile — because tomorrow, you’ll wake up and do it all over again.

    An adventure that you’ll remember for a lifetime.
