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.
