Go BACK...to Join The Heli-Skier's Alliance! Here's WHY You Should Be a Member
Play the video to find out HOW we can get KILLER Heliskiing Deals & WHY you should join - our powder posse - The Heli-Skier's Alliance!
Again, here's why & how this works:
TV, radio & print advertisers used to call this GAP in unfulfilled advertising space - excess capacity - "remnant space." That is when available ad space is not sold.
Heliskiing Operators don't talk about it. You rarely, if EVER hear about it. If you've skied with a lot of different operators, as we have, you hear some whispers...
Heliskiing operators encourage you to book your heliskiing trip many months in advance, sometimes well over a year. And deposits are non-refundable. This practice makes perfect sense from a business operators standpoint and has been standard operating procedure for five decades. That's OK! we're good with that, and we love heliskiing operators! They're our friends!
However not all of the seats in the helicopter get pre sold for every week at each operator throughout the entire industry...
There are at least three reasons which create an opportunity for you, FOR US...(especially as a collective) to get a deep discount on a heliskiing trip booking.
IF...IF you could get 50% off a heli-trip, would you drop everything and GO? HECK YEAH! SEND IT!
Reason #1 : Covid 19 created a "bubble of demand," and as operators worldwide opened back up, for at least two seasons, adventure skiers aggressively jumped at the opportunity, releasing their pent up demand to seek their powder dreams! The counter trend then followed - a decreased demand and thus excess capacity in the industry. Pricing reductions, reduced calendars (availability) and discounting naturally follow that scenario - over-supply.
The result is UNSOLD SEATS. This could also be a function of warming weather trends...maybe skiers have a bad taste in their mouth about booking a trip far in advance and then showing up only to discover a lack of fresh snow or warmer weather - so they're a little tired of getting skunked on previous trips and hesitant to book in advance for the next one. A weakening economy for elite travel experiences could also be a factor. - UNSOLD SEATS...
If you're a student of the industry as we are, you'll also witness that some operators are much more aggressive marketers than others. That lack consistent marketing activity could leave open seats.
Again, operators do have a response to this overcapacity issue. They can start reducing offering capacity on their calendars. But this can creating operational issues - staffing issues for seasonal staff who expect a specific length of employment. And because heliskiing operators typically lease their aircraft, it could create issues with their vendors when they're requesting a shorter term aircraft lease. This is all a delicate dance that a quality heliskiing operator has to execute when providing a top notch experience for their guests, year after year - risky...and not an easy task!
Reason #2 : Skiers and boarders simply don't show up for their trip! They experience illness, travel problems, family emergencies and a variety of other reasons that prevent them from taking advantage of their heli skiing trip booking. This is why travel insurance is so highly encouraged by the operators. Some operators say as much as 10 to 15 percent of their guests do NOT participate in their booking. This is a HUGE opportunity for the heli skiing operator to maximize revenue on an empty seat in a helicopter, which has already been fully paid for. However, this is definitely an opportunity for skiers with flexible schedules as the opportunity is created in the final days prior to the trip.
Reason #3 : Special promotions. Certain Heliskiing operators do have a history of promoting a sale!
So, if you’re a skier with a flexible schedule...and like me, you would prefer to execute a surgical strike trying to optimize on a fresh dump of new snow Then JOIN US in the Heli Skiers Alliance! Enter your information in the form above.
