Additional

We book only the number of people we can fly at all times. At VHC, you are not a number, but a valued guest through out your entire stay at VHC. Our guest to guide ratio is 4:1, ensuring that your trip is catered to you and your wishes.

At VHC, you ski regardless of the weather by using snowcats when helicopters can't fly - FOR NO EXTRA CHARGE WITH YOUR HELI SKI PACKAGE. We are able to move from snowcat skiing to heliskiing within minutes as weather conditions dictate.
We don't sit you in the lodge to wait it out, or send you river rafting on a day when the powder is falling - you came to ski. Access some of the best terrain in the Chugach right out our back door by hopping on our PistenBully snowcats and making turns when guests at other operations are playing cards in their rooms.

There's nothing worse than waiting in line for a ride at Disneyland - except waiting in line to heli ski in Alaska! We only book the number of people we can fly at any given moment, and we don't let people's reservations back up because of delays due to weather. You are always skiing, flying or riding in a snowcat, not waiting in line and competing with other guests' reservations.
