Mountain biker? Outdoor enthusiast? Throw in your 2 cents!
 

Hello all!

My name is Louis and I am part of a university research team working alongside a Whistler, BC based aviation company!

We are conducting market research on the feasibility of a new product offering called Heli-biking.

We are looking for your thoughts, advice, and ideas surrounding the feasibility of this experiment.

We are coming to you, because this will be offered to people LIKE you; those looking for a new way to enjoy mountain biking or looking for a new sport to try!
This product is exactly as it sounds; a helicopter will take you thousands of feet into the beautiful BC wilderness and mountainside, dropping you off at the top of a mountain at the start of a custom built downhill mountain track. One trail is completed with a few more in the works.

Some available choices are:
• Single ride ($125 each per “drop” / 5 person trip)
• 3 run half-day ($695 per person, 3 trails each + lunch break + chartered helicopter ride back down)
• Unguided tours (guided to come in future)

We are looking for your feedback, potential customers, as well as opinions of such a service.

Please, feel free to chime in with anything you have to say or add!
Attached is a quick survey we would LOVE for you to fill out, followed by a video depicting the experience in the beautiful British Columbia mountainside.

Thank you in advance, and we look forward to hear back from you all!

We will be active in this thread and will be engaging you all, so let’s start the discussion!

That seems too cheap... And your market is smaller than that of Heli Skiing. I just don't think you'd have the numbers to support it.

Badass idea and i'd love to give it a go.

Thanks Gab,

It's definitely a niche market.

Question for you is would you rather do a guided tour or an unguided tour?

Personally; unguided. Leave the guided tours for tourists (who like to spend money haha)
