I'm going out there first two weeks of April - i've heard the snow has not been good this season?
Looks like more forecast over the next week or so

musehead, thanks.
What made you choose them over other operators?

Touchguru, I liked their pricing model - you pay less upfront than other operators as they only charge you for the average expected amount of heli time per week (refund policies are often limited to 50% in the form of a credit for next season or other not very generous example). If you are lucky with the weather you pay as you go for extra flying time. Also like the fact they operate in a different area to the 5 or so Valdez based operations, and i've read some good trip reports online.
I'm sure the other Alaska operators are good too though!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Yeah two weeks. I've read some trip reports saying they only got half a day skiing in 6 days of being out there, and others saying they got 5+ full days in a week. So I figured it was worth paying for two weeks in case of bad weather since i'm going so far and paying a lot for the trip. Apparently on average I can expect about 6 days in a two week period.
