Bro deal on some Heli time

[powstash]

I've been working on a partnership deal with a heli operation (work reltated) that passed along 10 "bro deal" cards to me pass around the office. The reality is that the cards will not get used up by fellow employees so I'm opening up the love to the maggots.

The Heli outfit is Pantheon Helisports located near Waddington in British Columbia. It's not your typical Heli outfit and not your typical heli experience. They have 4 different base camps and basically charge you for heli time only. Each base camp is strategically located to offer easy access touring as well as good heli zones nearby.

A possible trip scenerio: So say you fly into a base camp and it's cloudy the first day you just go for a tour. Day 2 - you opt for a lift to the top of the peaks so you can tour the next valley over and then at the end of the day ski back down to base camp. Day 3 - Perhaps it's a bluebird with a foot of fresh and you wanna spin heli laps all day - call them up and the bird will fly. Then day 4 you want to fly over to the next base camp to tour. No prob....etc.

It's basically a choose your own adventure and choose your own amount of actual heli time.

The bro cards I've got are good for $500 off any heli experience this coming winter. PM me if you are interested in getting one of these cards. First come first served. I only ask that if I send you one and you don't see using it that you pass it along to someone that likely will.

[Darkside]

does anybody know how far a drive from Tahoe that is?

[wicked_sick]

This is an awesome display of generosity. I've dirt biked with Mike King, the pilot pantheon uses. Everything he told me about the place sounded very awesome. Awesome enough to warrant a 6 day drive.

Take powstash up on his offer. I know if I could afford heli time I'd be all over it. (the place is maybe 6 hrs from me)

about the same

[vanisle]

On a clear day i can see the Wad. from my house but it would probably take me as long as someone driving from Tahoe to get to the Pantheon base.Sweet deal powstash,wish i could use it.

your little dance there and the fact you can get there rather easy makes me want to do this

[Trackhead]

Spent a month in the Waddington range climbing/skiing back in '94. It's an incredible place, truly incredible.

[El Chupacabra]

Got the card in the mail this weekend - thanks powstash!

[El Chupacabra]

Bumping, 'cause as my winter progresses my work schedule fills up...

It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to use the card I got from Powstash. Anyone who wants it, PM me, and I'll drop it in the mail for you.

Thanks again Powstash for hooking us up -- wish I was able to use it...

[mojorisin]

I wish I could do it, but no. I'm way too fucking poor. I hope that someone jumps on this immediately! (oh yea, powstash, you have to make the stipulation that they post a kickass TR)

[mntlion]

never did get mine from 'stash?

[powstash]

uh, you wanted one? Sorry, the past few months are a blur. PM me with yer digits.

Anyone else, I've got a couple of cards left that are up for grabs.
