Eastern Greenland – When you talk to skiers who have been fortunate enough to ski all over the world, one bucket list location keeps coming up: Greenland. It’s challenging to get to, but most great places are.
This remote Arctic wilderness isn’t just another heli-ski spot—it’s the edge of the world, where mountains plunge straight into frozen fjords and icebergs drift like silent giants. In May 2016, Warren Miller Entertainment captured this magic in a jaw-dropping segment for Here, There, and Everywhere, featuring snowboard legends Seth Wescott and Rob Kingwill on East Greenland’s Kulusuk Island.
Watch the full 11-minute masterpiece here: East Greenland Heli Skiing
Population under 300. Helipad to beach pickups. Runs starting at just 2,000 ft but dropping to sea level—pure ocean-terminating couloirs carved in spring corn that surfs like slushy waves. “More fun than powder sometimes,” Wescott grins as he arcs turns with saltwater spraying at his heels.
The scale is mind-bending: endless terrain under 20 hours of golden light, wind-polished snowpack that’s bomber-solid. Local guides like Gideon Kunuk, who skins polar bears in his living room, lead you past ice walls marking where human survival ends.
It’s raw, real exploration—no resorts, just vast emptiness and badass locals hunting seal between laps. But hurry: Greenland’s ice sheet lost 280 billion tons in 2024. These faces are carving away.
If you make Heli skiing in Greenland, a reality we recommend, you reach out to Arctic Heli Skiing, which runs truly spectacular trips.
Greenland isn’t just a ski trip—it’s the final frontier. Who’s adding it to their list?
