Multi-Day Heli Skiing Packages
Black Ops Valdez offers multi-day packages that include accommodation and all meals. The configurations are 3 day (3 night), 5 day (5 night) and 7 day (7 night) which run from Sunday to Sunday. The start day of the 3 and 5 day packages are somewhat flexible. Each of the heli skiing packages include a set amount of Hobbs time (active flight time) and then charged per 1/10th hour thereafter, so you only have to pay to fly up what you want to ski down. This package format is ideally suited to
Alaska heli skiing where the weather can be fickle.
All packages include the provision of a beacon, pack, shovel, probe and harness. Airbag backpacks and skis and snowboards are available to rent.
BOV hosts a maximum of 16 guests at any one time made up of 4 groups of 4, each with a guide.
Down Days
Alaska enjoys abundant snowfall, yet along with the big snowstorms comes the possibility of no-fly days for the Alaska heli skiing outfits. On average, Black Ops Valdez heli skiing fly 80% of days, and fortunately they provide some good options for down days.
Cat skiing is a great alternative and other activities include snowmachine skiing and tours, boat tours of Port Valdez, ice climbing, ski touring, cross country skiing, and even shooting!
Here is a video teaser of what you can expect on a Black Ops Valdez package......
Robe Lake Lodge
Rather than staying in a hotel in a town, BOV provides the distinct advantage of providing accommodation in an Alaskan wilderness style lodge. Robe Lake Lodge overlooks the pretty Robe Lake, offering panoramic views of the surrounding areas. Accommodations include double and single rooms with very comfortable beds, and there are also cabins for families or groups of friends.
The common areas are great for lounging and chatting about the awesome day of heli skiing, or you can relax in the hot tub or sauna. There’s also a massage therapist available upon request. The lodge is fully kitted out with satellite TV and high speed internet so you can get on Facebook and make your friends jealous!
As a heli skiing guest, you will enjoy the gourmet dinners prepared by the chef, including local produce such as steak and fresh seafood. Decadent hot breakfasts are also on offer so you can work on your heli belly!

The value of unused activities (such as sled/snowcat skiing, touring or snowmobile tours) can be rolled UP to heli time if seats are available.
However, the value of unused Hobbs time CANNOT be rolled down to other activities. For heli skiing, in the event that we are unable to fly, but we can snowcat or sled ski, additional charges will apply to participate in those activities.
