For the record I had three different heli days reserved and all three were canceled do to weather. The check in process is archaic and inefficient and if you’ve ever been there for an unguided day you know it’s literally one run of freshies and then chop all day long, people come out of the wood work. Don’t get me wrong it’s good when it’s good but let’s not make it seem like you suddenly are teleported to Chamonix or something…..
