What’s New August 2008 News letter It’s August already! Usually we don’t see “termination dust” (the snows that marks the end of summer in Alaska ) until later this month, but we already had real life SNOW FALLS at elevations as low as 3000 feet!!! If our summer is ANY indication, this season is shaping up to be early and big with a lot of fresh powder that we all love! We often discuss our pre-pay discounts for each month in these summer newsletters, but this is the last of the big ones – 5% for paying for your trip in full by the end of August…. …AND most importantly… …we will be raising our prices 7-10% due to rising fuel costs at the end of the month. VHC doesn’t nickel and dime our clients by placing a fuel “surcharge” on our trips, and no,,, we are not going to start charging you for your water bottle and heli-pack in the ship like the crazy airlines are now doing. However, the cost of fuel has affected EVERYTHING that we do, and since Valdez is literally at the end of the road, ALL of our supplies are affected by the price of fuel. Thus prices overall are going up… If you have already paid for your trip with at least a 50% deposit – you are all set, and this increase DOES NOT affect you. …but, if you have friends that you believe will join you that have not yet booked,, make sure they know that their trip price is going to go up if they do not book soon! A 50% deposit in August will secure the current prices. Paying in full by the 31st provides a 5% discount. An additional 5% is available for groups of four! And those of you interested in 2010…you may have your 2010 trip at the current rates if you put down a 50% deposit by the end of August (if you then pay for the 2010 trip in full before March 31, 2009, you can take 10% off – a tremendous savings!). Please let us know sooner than later if you have any questions – we are always ready to assist you! With the snow already creeping down the Steep Chugach Peaks the count down to ski season is upon us! Watch your email for Exciting New Announcements as September kicks off at VHC. For the best rates your going to find, on the best skiing and snowboarding in the World, those of you who can get your bookings in now, should! Best regards for a wonderful August! __________________________ July 2008 News Letter. CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!! Well that’s what we like to call our mid-summer Punch Card Sale. As those of you that speak with and visit us often know, we very seldom discount these cards. And for the Month of July: 10% off your punch card purchases! That’s the best deal on the least expensive way to go Heli-Skiing in Alaska– Hands down. But wait – there’s more! We’re introducing two new punch cards this season: 250,000 and 500,000 Vertical feet. And these are on sale too! We found last season that our “extra” seats, those that are highly sought after for punch card holders, were becoming a hot commodity. For the first time in the punch card program’s history, we had to turn folks away – for a number of days. REMEMBER: When we have extra seats, those with the highest denomination and lowest serial number are first in line for our those heli seats. So-o-o-o, if you are the first one to buy a 500,000 vertical punch card, you will be assured that you will get priority punch card seating when it is available. That’s why buying the punch card – no matter what denomination you choose, is worth doing as early as possible – and if you do it now you’ll save big! Here’s a table listing our punch cards (including the two new ones) and the savings they provide you – remember, this month only – Save 10% off of these rates!
Many of you prefer or require the security and full-service of our premier all-inclusive packages which provide guaranteed vertical and a guaranteed seat in both the Helis and Snowcats each day, as well as our awesome food and all of VHC’s amenities. For those of you that would choose one of these all-inclusive trips or even one of our private helicopter charters, we have a special rate for you this month as well!Book and pay in full by the end of July and get 6% of the price of your trip! Trust us! All Heli-Ski Firms are not created equal! Don’t book a heli-trip – any where – without speaking with us first!Want to do a little research before you contact us? Our FAQ page is full of the basics you need to help formulate questions and choose to the trip that works best for you! Do the research, please! This season we've found many who came to Valdez that asked "Why didn't I book with you?"! We know the reason! You didn't speak or email us before you chose your operator. Heli-Skiing in Alaska is a challenging and expensive endeavor, we strive to make every aspect of your visit here as enjoyable as possible. Those that have been our guests in the past know that Valdez Heli-Camps provides the best in Alaskan Heli-Skiing and at the best value whatever your budget!Of course you can email us This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , or call us at 907-783-3243, ext 210 and ask as many questions as you’d like!

10-31-07 Newsletter
Hello everyone! This summer and fall while Todd the Sales Guy has been helping many of you make your plans for the heliski season, I have been working on new and exciting things for you at VHC. The snow is here and we have never been more excited than this season for you all to join us! First, I’m happy to say that I’ve extended Sound-to-Summit, our premier adventure trip, from two to three sessions in early May, for the first time. One slot is already completely booked and there is limited seating available in the other two. Call me soon if you would like a spot on this exclusive trip! My direct extension is #214. Next, In June I was pleased to have contracted Propeller Media Works, from my home state of Vermont to kick our Web site up to the next level. I made a trip back east to meet with them (and yes, I checked on my folks and the family farm as well), and I’m confident that I’ve found the right folks to give www.valdezhelicamps.com a fresh new look and the functionality we have been looking forward to! Many of you participated in our research this year in developing some of the features this new site will provide our clients and causal viewers alike. Look for the announcement of the world premier of our updated site here in the coming weeks! While I was on my trip to the “Lower 48”, I also stopped by Grand Junction, Colorado, and visited the folks at Kassbohrer All-Terrain Vehicles. The result? My wallet is a little lighter as I arranged purchase of two state-of-the-art Pisten Bully PB 200/Edge Snow Cats to add to our fleet (bringing the total to five Machines onsite this season to ensure your skiing or snowboarding in Alaska in nearly every weather condition. Only VHC in the heliski industry continues to makes that commitment to, and investment in, our guests’ experience and we are happy to do so!). These new cats will leave Colorado as soon as they are painted in the company colors and will be on a November 15th Barge bound to meet you and stand ready in the Chugach Mountains and Valdez this season. Finally, we’ve recommitted to the Ski and Snowboard show circuit this season, and joined forces with Dan Egan and Skiclinics.com to share booth space. I just finished the Seattle show yesterday with our friends Mike Calderon (world’s greatest Mexican-American Heliskier) and Scott Frye helping keep up the antics we are famous for on the circuit. Here are the dates and locations of all the shows where you can find us this fall: Seattle Ski Fever & Snowboard Show Cheers! __________________________
