NORTH CASCADE HELI

Check it out:

Thanks Stefani at Chair 2 Board Sports for this sweet video.

Hard to believe we’re thinking about the 2013 season all ready, with the snowflakes settling still from 2012, but we are! We anticipate opening around January 17th, and ceasing operations on March 24th, 2013.

We’re on pace to have the same record demand for bookings for the 213 season that we had in 2012, with select dates for both our “standard” heli-skiing/shredding programs and the Barron yurt filling fast. The following dates are already gone for 2013:

Heli programs:

Jan 19/20
Feb 14-16th have room for 1 group of four left only
Feb 23-25th
Feb 28-3/3
March 8-9
March 10th-12th have room for 1 group of 4 left only

Barron Yurt:

Jan 18-21
Jan 24th-Jan 27th
Feb 2-10th
Feb 14th-17th
Feb 27-March 10th
March 14th-17th

As extra incentive, if you book/make a deposit before May 1 this year we will give you this year’s prices.

We’re not in the office this week, but will be in starting the week of 9th on a semi-regular basis.

It’s that bittersweet day- our last day of operations for the 2012 season- and we’re still serving up the goods here in the North Cascades.

Happy guests on Silverstar

While we’re done for the year, we are taking bookings for the 2013 season- and many dates are filling fast, especially for the yurt. Better yet if you make a deposit by May 1, we’ll give you this year’s rates.

The snow continues to stack up in the backcountry. Ed and Dave enjoying the bounty on Silver Star.

The storms are hitting the North Cascades, boosting our nation-leading snowpack to the highest depths of the winter.
Here, father and son team Mike and John lay down some tracks on Silver Star.

Thanks to Dave Waag of Off-Piste Magazine for sharing these shots from his trip up here last week.

Nothing wrong with a little duct tape…

Thanks for sharing Fred!
