Alaska Heli Skiing
With Black Ops Valdez
Black Ops Valdez is the only operation of its kind. We specialize in the true Alaska ALL INCLUSIVE Heli Skiing Experience! From the moment you get to Valdez until you leave, you will experience the best of Alaska.
Black Ops Valdez has a team of highly skilled and trained Valdez heli-ski guide veterans, many of which have guided here for over a decade....or two. We operate Airbus/Eurocopter A-Star B-Series 350/H-125 aircraft and have 16 maximum clients at any one time, or four groups of four, each with a guide. This ensures that your experience is a personal one and eliminates waiting for the helicopter between runs.
We offer flight time, Hobbs time, packages only. Hobbs time is kept by a meter on the dash of the aircraft and turns anytime the pilot pulls pitch on the main rotor blades...this basically happens when the aircraft is flown in sustained level flight (to and from the skiing) anytime the aircraft is flown up in elevation (flying from the pickup to the top of the next run), or stabilizing the aircraft on a tricky landing. In the field, you pay to fly up, what you want to ski down.
