EXCLUSIVE USE
The helicopter is yours for the day. This is an excellent option for private groups who either charge hard all day or want the freedom and privacy that only a private charter can offer. Do the math (we can help!) and you’ll see that if you want to ski an incredible amount of vertical, the exclusive use charter just might be your ticket to ride. Includes exclusive use of the helicopter, guide services, avalanche equipment, and demo powder boards.
Cost: $4,000 per flight hour. A minimum of 1.5 hours of flight time per day is required for the first load, 2.5 hours per day for two loads and 3 hours per day forthree loads. Single load exclusive use is available only when approved.
Required deposit: $4,000.

1-DAY BACKCOUNTRY TOUR
Spend a full day touring for turns after a helicopter drop-off early in the morning at a spectacular and remote highpoint in the mountains. Forget about the three to five hour uphill approaches – we leave the climbing skins in the pack on this tour because soon after departing the heli-barn, we’re taking a run!
Following your guide, you and your group will tour to your heart’s desire while covering backcountry travel skills. If pounding out the vertical is what you want, then have at it! Or perhaps an adventurous tour among the peaks is more your cup of tea. We can curtail the day to fit your dreams and desires.
At the end of the day and one last run, the helicopter arrives to whisk the group back to the barn for a few pints of some Twisp River Pub ales. Now that’s a tour!
Includes guide services, avalanche gear and roundtrip helicopter shuttle.
Custom options are available.
Cost: $375 per guest.
