Corrections from Britta and Christof Wieser

Some time ago I posted a blog about Britta and Christof Weiser, two heliskiers we met in New Zealand. Britta sent me this letter correcting a few points regarding their Heliski carear:

Hopefully we will run into them again next New Zealand winter; They are very nice people!


Hi everybody,
Thank you Mick - it was very nice to read the blog about ourselves:
"Christof and Britta Wieser: Legendary Heliskiers".
All the same, I would like to put three details right, because we do not
want to offend anybody.
1.) I am almost sure, that there are older "active" heliskiers around -
especially during the "Senior-weeks" at CMH. Therefore it seems
important to me to point out, that Christof's record reads as follows: "
Christof Wieser (Austria), born 19 September 1928 Heliskiis regularly
every year". The "REGULARLY" ment that GWR was asking for 50 (!) days of
heliskiing PER YEAR which is so very special about Christof.
2.) We have never been to TYAX, instead those 3 million feet we skied
with CMH, Canadian Mountain Holidays.
3.) Himalaya was with HHS former Himachal Helicopter Skiing, were we
achieved 2 million verts.
An other million feet we collected trying out different places, like
KAUKASUS (whilst it was still UDSSR), GREENLAND as well as different
places in CANADA.
We would very much appreciate if Mick could change these details in the
blog!!
Our greetings to Mike and Kevin and of course yourself - perhaps we are
going to run into each other at some other
heliskiing location, who knows?
Kindest regards,
Britta + Christof from Austria
