Alaska Heli-Skiing
(1-7 days)
Join us in one of Alaska's premiere heli-skiing destinations! Experienced guides and expert pilots will lead you into one of the greatest untracked mountain wilderness areas in Alaska. Dry, untouched snow and stable weather will give you a helicopter skiing experience to remember.
Location:
The historic town of Skagway, Alaska at the northern end of Alaska's inside passage is surrounded by an extremely jagged, heavily glaciated, mountain landscape. Skagway, the jump off point for the gold fields of the Klondike, is rich in history from the era. The area is home to the world's largest non-polar ice cap. The peaks have 7,000 feet of vertical relief and rise directly from the ocean. The variety of terrain; from glacier cirques with a multitude of steep couloirs to open undulating bowls of heavenly powder make for world class skiing and riding. The combination of incredible skiing and the proximity to a helicopter base of operations make this area one of the best in North America for helicopter skiing.
The mountains surrounding Skagway have a relatively dry, continental snowpack and some of the clearest and most stable weather conditions anywhere in Alaska. As the sole heli-ski guiding company in the area, our guests have access to extensive untracked areas and numerous first descents. Generally, the only tracks you'll see will be your own.
