Schedule & Rates for Cordova, Alaska
Points North Heli-Adventures, Inc. is the only heli-ski operation in Alaska that is truly all-inclusive with a one of a kind Chugach experience.
THE PNH DIFFERENCE
There are no roads or highways that run through the middle of our land in the Chugach Mountain Range. All of our clients fly from our lodge and back to our lodge via helicopter each day. We have multiple fuel caches in the field that allow us to fly non-stop throughout the day. You are never on a peak and told to ski to a road for a shuttle bus pick-up.
PNH offers a heli-flight hour rate instead of a guaranteed vertical package rate. This is what makes PNH special. You only pay for the time utilized by the aircraft. With that said, an average day of skiing or snowboarding consists of 20,000-35,000 feet of vertical per day. The price one pays for his/her day, based on our heli-hour rate averages around $825 (for 6-8 runs) $1200 (for 8-12 runs). Most operations sell a vertical package or a 6 run day which is great, however at PNH it is very common to obtain 6 runs by lunch time. Our average ski day gets you 8-12 runs and allows you to keep an eye on your heli time.
Our lodging is all-inclusive: PNH is the ONLY heli-ski operation in the state with a full service lodge. Our lodge is not a hotel or motel. It is a beautiful state of the art facility located directly on the waters edge. All of our meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, are guaranteed to make your mouth water and our chef specializes in Alaskan cuisine.

Fuel Surcharge
We base the fuel surcharge on the Los Angeles Index for Kerosene-Type Jet Fuel Price that is reported by the US Department of Energy. A Fuel Surcharge will be added for increases in the base average fuel prices (base prices are determined by averaging the last 6 months of the previous year). A $2 addition to each heli hour will be added for each percentage (%) increase. At this time we do not have a fuel charge.
