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.
