Majestic Heli Ski

What Majestic Heli Ski does

Majestic Heli Ski is a privately held helicopter skiing operator founded in 2011 by Njord Rota, operating primarily out of Majestic Valley Lodge in Glacier View, Alaska. The company provides all-inclusive heli ski packages in the Chugach and Talkeetna Mountains, accessing approximately 2 million acres of terrain from its lodge at 3,000 feet — the highest elevation heli ski lodge or ski lift in Alaska. Operations use Airbus A-Star B3 helicopters configured for one pilot, one guide, and up to four guests per group, with snowcat backup for no-fly days; vertical guarantees range from 10,000 to 75,000 feet depending on package length, sold at $2,000 for a one-day package up to $16,800 for a seven-day package, with private and Slaydies Week formats available at premium pricing.

The company's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, relying on a dedicated booking concierge team (phone and email), The Guide Network online booking plugin, organic social media, and themed events such as the Slaydies Week women's camp and Dan Egan Heli Camp. Distribution is exclusively direct in Alaska, augmented by a partnership with El Azufre Mountain Lodge in Argentina (Andes, June–September) and a planned Greenland launch in spring 2027 via Hotel Maniitsoq. Ancillary revenue streams include on-site retail (Arc'teryx, Hestra, Smith, K2), a full-service bar, massage and ski tuning services, and usage-based charges for additional vertical feet.

Majestic is a member of Heli-Ski U.S. Association, operates under State of Alaska and Bureau of Land Management permits, and has invested $250,000 in a 43 kW solar array while maintaining carbon neutral status through NativeEnergy. The business is founder-led, with no disclosed institutional investors, and the guide team consists of AMGA-certified, AIARE-trained, and EMT-credentialed professionals supporting a stated 1:1 staff-to-guest ratio.

Broad incumbents

• Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing: Iconic Blue River, BC heli-ski operator with five-decade operating history, large fleet, and multiple lodge properties. Comparable on all-inclusive unlimited vertical pricing model and HNW clientele.
• Canadian Mountain Holidays (CMH Heli-Skiing): The world's largest and most established heli-skiing operator with 12+ lodges across British Columbia and global trip offerings. Broad incumbent benchmark for premium multi-day heli-ski product, vertical guarantee policies, and luxury pricing.

Direct peers

• Last Frontier Heliskiing: Northern BC heli-ski operator running small-group packages in the Skeena and Coastal mountains. Comparable on small group size, remote terrain access, and high-touch service model.
• Island Lake Lodge: BC cat-skiing and heli-skiing boutique operator focused on small groups and luxury service. Comparable on the high-touch, capacity-constrained luxury model that Majestic pursues.
• Alaska Heli Skiing (Valdez Heli-Ski Guides): Long-established Valdez-based heli-ski operator offering all-inclusive packages in the Chugach Mountains — the same Alaska mountain range where Majestic operates. Directly comparable on product, customer segment, and helicopter-based delivery model.
• Tordrillo Mountain Lodge: Luxury Alaska heli-ski and adventure lodge operating in the Tordrillo and Chugach ranges with high-touch service, private chef, and small-group format — competing head-to-head for the same $15K+ luxury heli-skiing guest.
• Northern Escape Heli-Skiing: British Columbia heli-ski operator with lodge-based all-inclusive packages in the Skeena Mountains. Closely comparable on multi-day package pricing tier, group sizes, and customer profile.
• Chugach Powder Guides: Girdwood, Alaska heli-skiing outfitter running A-Star and B3e helicopters in the Chugach with multi-day packages. Closest direct competitor on terrain, package structure, and HNW guest profile.

Regional players

• Ski Arpa (Chile): Chilean heli-ski operation in the Andes referenced as a prior employer of Majestic's lead guide. Comparable on the South American heli-ski product Majestic now offers via its Argentina partnership.

Emerging players

• Pure North Heli-Skiing (Sweden): European heli-ski operator offering small-group guided trips in northern Sweden. Comparable as a small, premium, AMGA-style heli-ski operator expanding into remote/emerging ski geographies — analogous to Majestic's Greenland launch.
