Our goal is to get like minded ladies into the mountains, to helicopter ski together in a non competitive setting. Spend a all inclusive week at Kenai Heli Ski progressing your skills with like minded women in a non competitive, supportive environment tailored to your needs by Big Mountain World Champion Crystal Wright and PSIA Level three instructor, former big mountain competitor and helicopter skiing guide Lynn Kennen. Become more confident by learning techniques and skills of traveling in big mountain terrain, while skiing from a helicopter. Ski countless runs in the fun, non-intimidating environment of a women’s camp in Alaska. Push your limits in a comfortable, safe, and informative atmosphere where you will never forget the turns and friends you have made. Included in your cost of $8490.00 is:
-Your flight from Anchorage to Valdez on Grant Airways and your transfer from Valdez to the Rendezvous Lodge at Mile 46 on Richardson Highway.
