Helicopter Riding

Special discount rates apply for Tailgate Pass holders

It is important to remember that your guide has no idea of your riding ability or your ability to make safe decisions. Your first run will not be ultra steep as the guide must access your ability level as a skier/rider and your ability to follow his/her instructions.

Billed as the ultimate mountain experience for good reason. Few feelings match up to the pure bliss or riding thousands of vertical feet of steep and deep powder without crossing tracks. It is truly magical. And while at first blush seems off the scale price wise, once you have the experience, the value is easy to understand. It is the standard.

With 5 operators in the Valdez there are a lot of options - the key is to book ahead to get on their schedules. Tailgate has really stretched the uphill capacitiy of the area, so now more than ever it is improtant to book ahead. The user manual includes discounts and deals on heliing for Tailgaters.
