Alaska Range Ski Camp
Picture this: you and your best ski buddies fly to Anchorage, AK, and hop in a floatplane. You fly to a remote glacier where you base camp in your own basin for several days while skiing the most iconic mountains in the US. This trip has it all and is a great way to dip your boots into an expedition ski trip without having to spend weeks camping on a glacier!
This trip is spent in the Pika Glacier zone in the Alaska Range, nestled below Denali and Foraker. We’ve designed this trip for those who are looking to experience a one-of-a-kind backcountry skiing / split boarding experience in Alaska while learning more about traveling/camping in bigger mountain ranges.
We can design this trip for intermediates through experts. Each individual must be physically fit and healthy and have at least begun their journey into backcountry skiing/riding. Must be comfortable on glaciers and skiing variable snow.

Valdez Alaska Heli Ski
Ever wanted a taste for the heli experience but also highly love ski touring? This trip explores Thompson Pass out of Valdez AK, skiing Couloirs, Peaks, and getting in a helicopter. These helicopter rides will be a bump in the morning to a desired ski line or location. After descending our prize line for the day, we execute the rest of our plan by adding on an objective while skiing back to a staged vehicle on Thompson Pass. We will utilize a local heli company for our two days of heli transfers to Thompson Pass.
We provide transportation for you from Anchorage to Valdez and our through out the entirety of our experience. Take a look at our trip inclusions and exclusions, under the Trip Cost tab, below.
This trip is a friend style laid back experience. With that being said we have lodging for you at Totem Hotel, downtown Valdez. We will get a warm taste for the Valdez local life as we taste dinner options around town and make friends with legends. This immersion into local ski life has all of us as curious as you, what an evening of stories could teach us about our perspectives.
