Helipro is the leading Russian tour operator for heli skiing and heli-boarding trips. They organize trips to the Caucasus, Kamchatka, but also to Antarctica. Yes, you read right - heliboarding in Antarctica. They go there with a Russian ice-breaker, which has a heli on board. Be aware, if your are thinking this trip is the usual $4000 heli boarding trip, than you are wrong. They only do it once a year and it comes for a premium price that buys you a mid-sized car.
Anyway, helipro offers trips not only to the Russian regions and territory, but also to Greenland, New Zealand, the Andes and Nepal. Some of the most famous Russian sports photographers are steady visitors on these trips. Heli-Pro collected the nicest of their shots and displays them in a show at Winzavod on the upcoming weekend. My friend Andrey Pirumov shows his work there along with Andrey Kamenev, Vitalius Mikhaylov and Maxim Balakhovskiy.
This weekend, from June 15th to 17th you can see this exhibition in Moscow at studio “ELEVEN” Vinzavod. After this it will travel through Eastern European cities like Prague, Vilnius, Riga and Bratislava. The exhibition shows the wide glaciers of Greenland and New Zealand, the sparkling snow of Uzbekistan and the majestic volcanoes of Kamchatka. Those of you who can’t see this exhibition can see some of these beautiful shots on HeliPros website: http://www.helipro.ru/new/fv2/vistav/
