You are paying for quality ski runs!
Points North Heli-Adventures,
Inc. is the only heli-ski operation in Alaska that is all inclusive.
PNH offers a flight hour rate instead of
a guaranteed vertical package rate. This is what makes Points North
special. You only pay for the time utilized by the aircraft.
Weather in Alaska is too
unpredictable to guarantee grand expectations of vertical, yet it is
also the weather that makes Alaskan heli-skiing the super bowl of
riding. You will get your vertical on ski days!
There are no roads or highways that run through the middle of our
land. All of our clients fly from our lodge and back to our lodge
via helicopter each day. You are never on a peak and told to ski to
the road for a shuttle bus pick up.
Our lodging is all inclusive. We
are the ONLY 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 are
guaranteed to make your mouth water and our chef specializes
in Alaskan cuisine.
Our quality service begins the
day we run your card for deposit.
