Again, an average day of skiing or snowboarding consists of 20 – 25,000 feet of vertical per day. The price one pays for his or her excursion, based on our heli time rate is averaging around $850 - $950 per day. This generally gets you around 8 -12 heli runs in the given area we are flying that day. You are not paying for vertical. 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.
