    i might.

    a. do you have a car?
    b. do you have a sleeping bag
    c. can you legally get into canada?

    if you answered yes to those just go up the pass to nadahine cabin (about the size of a shoebox) and stay there. for free.

    or the other cabin just up the road from there.

    another option for you would be just to hire a fixed wind and get dropped off for a couple of days.

    Are you sure that's not $2300 per person? I have a hard time believing you can even get two days of heli for $460.

    yes wrong. 2300 / person. travel is a group of 5. otherwise they may as well just give flights and lodging away for free.

    makes much more sense now. thanks for the clarification. Hell, and A-Star costs approx 700 dollars a hour to operate.
