Heli skiing some deep snow in Valdez Alaska

For those with more time available than money to Heli Ski in Alaska, we provide six heli skiing vertical punch cards designed to appeal to riders looking for the ability to indulge in the VHC experience heli skiing at the best rates in the industry.

Here is how it works:

Essentially, you purchase a heli ski vertical punch card for a specific amount of vertical feet. The least expensive one, for $599, provides 12,500 vertical feet of skiing. If you estimate the average day of heli skiing provides 18,000-20,000 vertical feet of skiing, this vertical punch card allows more than half a day's worth of heli skiing. Another way to look at it is that it costs about $96 to heli ski, a 2000 vertical foot run.

Want to save even more? The 100,000 Vertical Feet Punch Card provides the flexibility of buying in bulk and paying as little as $66 for the same 2000 vertical feet!

And for you die-hards wanting to get the most for your Heli Skiing dollar, we've introduced two new heli skiing punch cards this season in 250,000 and 500,000 Vertical foot Denominations. The 500K heli skiing punch card works out to be an average of $52

Try to beat that!

Unbeatable on price and certainly unbeatable on quality! And most importantly you are paying for what you heli ski not what you fly the helicopter! Only at VHC.  Visit our Comparatitive FAQs to find out how we can do what no one else can!

REMEMBER:  When we have extra seats, those with the highest denomination and lowest serial number are first in line for those heli skiing 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.  Here are our rules to determine priorities for space-available Heli skiing seats:

  • Punch Cards are  FOR INDIVIDUAL USE ON A SPACE AVAILABLE BASIS ONLY. (THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF SPECIFIC GROUPING WITH PUNCH CARDS )
  • If a client would like to OWN a seat in the Heli they may BUY a seat (Single Day) at the current single day rate up to the time of grouping for departure.  Single Day Heli Skiers have seniority over all Punch Cards, therefore guaranteeing the seat. Likewise a pre-booked Snowcat Skiing Client may upgrade to Heli Skiing for the day rate amount difference and "own the seat".
  • Priority of space available helicopter seats are as follows:
    • Pre-Booked Snowcat Ski Clients upgrading to Heli Skiing
    • Single Day Heli Skiers
    • Punch Cards of highest issued denomination
    • Punch Cards with oldest serial number


We've developed these products to appeal to customers that want to ski as inexpensively as possible. These packages represent the best value in the industry and provide a way for big mountain riders like you to pay only for what you heli ski when you heli ski.
