Costco & Big Snow
It has been a very busy new year for us at VHC and we wanted to let you all share in some of the great news!
Valdez Heli-Camps and Costco Wholesale have introduced a special introductory Alaska Heliski trip for you or your favorite skier or snowboarder this year!
Costco & VHC ?
Yes you heard me right, Costco. Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: COST), simply known as Costco, is the largest membership warehouse club chain in the United States. As of July 2009 it is the third largest retailer in the United States and the ninth largest in the world.
Costco and VHC now have partnered to offer a spectacular deal to its members, The Alaska Heliskiing Experience now live at Costco.com and just in time for Christmas. This package offers 3-nights deluxe VHC accommodation and a 25K punch card for just $999 Save nearly $600.
Not only is this a great deal in itself, but it is also a great way to save money on one of our all inclusive trips this season! By buying this trip through Costco save another $250 when upgrading to a 3 or 4 day all-inclusive ride with your member purchase at Costco.com!
Look for more news on this, and a 5-day option soon to launch in the coming days. Thank all the folks at Costco for really working hard and helping us make this price point for you! They did their part! For all the details be sure to visit our Costco page on the VHC site.
We have been joking since the launch that “Now you can truly get everything at Costco.”
Costco and VHC your best heliskiing value at the top big mountain destination in the World. Can’t beat that!
What about the weather Matt? How’s the snow shaping up this season?
