Heli Skiing Nevada - Ruby Mountains
You can resort ski in Nevada in a few popular locations, but there is only one operator offering heli-skiing in Nevada Ruby mountains, and that’s Ruby Mountain Heli which has an admirable position in the industry, because they have the only heli skiing tenure in the state of Nevada.
Yet, consider all the resort skiing possibilities in Nevada! Go skiing at Mt. Rose between Reno, Nevada and Incline Village. Or,go over the hill from Carson City, NV on highway 50, on your way to Northstar Resort or Palisades Tahoe. On that path, you can stop on your way at in Incline Village, NV and ski Diamond Peak Ski Resort. Or you go big and ski the Nevada side of Heavenly Valley!
But if you’re a true blue, backcountry powder chaser, and you want a helicopter as your lift so you can actually heli ski Nevada, you’re going to have to find your way to Elko, Nevada. Then take a short run 10 miles over to Lamoille, Nevada and up the hill to the secluded Ruby 360 Lodge. That’s where the heli-pad is! That’s where your real adventure begins!

Facts & FAQ
It’s a long way from Reno-Tahoe…a five to six hour drive and then some! If you’re coming from the resorts in Utah, you’ll come through Salt Lake City, and drive another three hours west on interstate 80.
If you’re a jet-setter billionaire, you’re in luck! Elko, NV has a small airport that you can fly into, and then you’re a short 4X4 limo ride from there!
Although Steamboat Springs, CO has trademarked the term “champagne powder,” Utah skiers seem to have borrowed it as well. And it doesn’t stop there…visitors who have been fortunate enough to get a fresh dump when heli-skiing in Nevada Ruby mountains have typically enjoyed a similar, very light powder and described it the same way!
The unique climate in this 80 mile long by 11 mile wide mountain range, which lies within Elko County & Pine County, NV, tends to be more arid desert-like. So when the powder does blanket the alpine, it’s lighter and fluffy…and this is what makes heli-skiing in Nevada Ruby mountains the kind of trip that dreams are made of!
