Best unforgettable experience ever!

This is a once in a lifetime experience and would highly recommend it to anyone, if you can afford it. The pilot, Bill, was very experienced and made the flight very safe and enjoyable. It is an incredible view over the mountain ranges and the snow landing was definitely worth it.
