Day cat. Day guests meet the cat at the lodge on the creek road for the 07:30 briefing. The first cat rolls at 08:00 and the last pickup is 16:00.
Heli add-on day. The A-Star takes four guests and a guide each load, up to eight heli guests on a flying day. Cat One weeks suit it best.
Private cat. The whole cat for your group. You set the pace, and the guides still choose the terrain.
Coming alone, we pair you with a roommate of the same gender. When a room is free you can have it to yourself.

A short heli day next to a big one
Say the A-Star flies 3,000 m on your day. That's 1,000 m under the guarantee, so $150 comes back to you in cash. On a big day it flies 7,000 m, and you said yes to going past 6,000 at the morning briefing. The extra 1,000 m is billed at $160.
Storm days are the deep days, and the cats ski the trees.
Last winter the cats ran 109 of 113 days.
