Strafing run · Zermatt · Feb 2026
Your squad splits in two. Half drop into untouched backcountry powder. The other half stay in the helicopter — armed with paintball guns — and hunt them from the sky. Friendships have never been more honest.
Four simple steps. One unforgettable betrayal.
Your group of 6-10 loads into our modified Bell 212 helicopter. Tensions are already high. Someone is eyeing the paintball guns. That's normal.
At the summit, half the group drops into pristine backcountry powder with a 2-minute head start. They are now classified as "prey." They chose this.
The helicopter swoops low. The remaining passengers lean out with competition-grade paintball markers. Hunters get points for each confirmed splatter. Wind chill adds difficulty. Screaming adds ambiance.
Everyone regroups at the lodge for craft cocktails, steak dinner, and a slow-motion replay reel projected on a 12-foot screen. Scores are tallied. Grudges are formed. Lifelong memories are made.
Because it sort of does. Our guides drop you into 15,000 vertical feet of untracked powder across terrain that would make a mountain goat nervous. You'll carve through old-growth glades, launch off natural features, and navigate couloirs — all while being actively shot at from above. Studies show adrenaline improves technique by up to 400%.*
*Not a real study.
Can't ski? Perfect. Won't ski? Even better. You stay in the warm helicopter, strap into a five-point harness, and lean out the side door with a Tippmann TMC paintball marker with a 200-round hopper. Our pilot brings you in low for strafing runs while you rain neon justice on your friends below. It's the most fun a non-athlete has ever had in the mountains.
You've just skied 12,000 vertical feet through waist-deep powder while being strafed by your closest friends. You don't need a Sancerre. You need a wine that has seen some things. Our cellar was curated for people who treat après like a blood oath.
"The moment you hear the rotors behind you, and you see a pink paintball explode on the snow two feet to your left — that's when you know you're alive."
All packages include helicopter transport, safety briefing (15 minutes of legal disclaimers read very quickly), and a GoPro highlight reel you probably shouldn't post on LinkedIn.
2026-2027 season bookings now open. Spots are extremely limited because we only have one helicopter and our pilot needs weekends off.
