Sounds like a great experience overall.  That first pic is amazing.  I'm right now picturing my ski tips getting ready to drop into that one. 

I'd like to get a group together to do this trip next season.  Would you mind sharing some of the travel logistics involved in making a trip like this happen?

Thanks for the report.

I think the key is getting a group of 3-4 who all have similar skiing abilities, fitness and risk tolerance. Other that, just do your research on any number of the heli-ops in the area, book it, then cross your fingers that the weather gods are on your side when you go. We got extra lucky that a cold storm dumped right before we arrived so there was pow. One of the guides told me that in Feb it's blower "all aspects, all elevations." I told him it sounds just like Snoqualmie Pass.

Wow! Just wow....
OK coupla questions for you though. How much did the heli trip cost (not your cost to get up there, or your booze bill), how much heli vert did you get?
Tell me if I'm too nosey, just really curious about AK heli. Thanks
