Alaska Heli-Skiing: EpicQuest's Vertical Guarantee

By Greer Schott

Heli-skiing in Alaska can be epic, but so can the weather—there’s always the risk of being grounded. When you’re making the trek all the way to Alaska, the last thing you want is your adventure vacation to turn into a sit-in-the-lodge vacation.

That’s where EpicQuest’s new Ultimate Flex Package comes in. It’s like travelers insurance for skiers, and when you tack it on to your Girdwood, Alaska, heli-trip for a few hundred extra bucks, you’ll get guaranteed snowcat or Alyeska Resort skiing if your helicopter can’t take off. If bad conditions don’t let up, just try again next time–you get credit towards skiing on a re-scheduled trip at a later, hopefully calmer, date. It’s based on vertical, so you’ll be sure to get your 50,000 feet, now or later.

“Nobody’s ever thought of it this way before," says Chris Owens, EpicQuest vice president of operations. "We had to scratch our heads and ask ‘Are we crazy? Is this really the right thing to do?’ And the answer is, it is the right thing to do. “ Even so, “This kind of flexibility is unheard of in Alaska's heli-ski industry.”

And when you’re paying a few grand for the experience already, the flexibility is definitely worth the extra dough.

Heliskiing is usually alluring, not least because of the fact that helicopter travel is an unusual encounter, and not a thing that every layman gets to accomplish. Being in a helicopter is actually half the enjoyment of heliskiing, just sitting in one and experiencing the turbines spin around above your head is definitely an epic and unforgettable encounter.

This sounds exciting. This is perfect for people who are looking for challenging adventures. It’s a good thing that they’re offering insurance too. At least they could still enjoy the vacation even if it’s a bad weather. People who are considering this kind of activity should also consider having annual family travel insurance. This is very important so that in case of emergency, they’re expenses may be covered. Thank you for this interesting activity. I’m very happy to know that such opportunity exists.

Heli-skiing in Alaska sounds amazing. I am currently living in Dublin and since we have been here we have taken advantage of the proximity to Europe, skiing in Austria and France.
It sounds like a whole other ballgame in Alaska and this insurance sounds very inovative.
