About us

I was a professional ski guide before changing careers to fly helicopters in the US Army. When I got out, I was really only qualified for three things: being a ski guide, flying helicopters and drinking beer. So, starting Majestic Heli Ski just made sense. We offer helicopter skiing in remote areas of Alaska — untracked powder, big mountains and luxury lodging — for an unmatched skiing holiday. Building a customer base was our main challenge.

Goals: Awareness, action

What we did

Video ads were simply the best way for us to show the Majestic Heli Ski experience. And video ad targeting helped us zero in on the people we needed to reach — from the age range of our typical customers to areas of the country where skiing is popular. We also focused on people who are searching online for ski resorts or certain types of skis. It's all very targeted — about 50% of our new customers now find us through YouTube.

You know [how] you say that a picture is worth a thousand words? Video is worth a million. They see the lodge, the dinners, the skiing — and they get it. Plus, YouTube levelled the playing field by allowing me to reach customers who would otherwise look at some of the more established businesses.
