Alaska Mountain Guides & Climbing School- Heli Skiing

Heli-Skiing in Alaska!
(1-7 days)

Location:
Join us for some incredible untracked skiing in world class terrain! The town of Skagway, Alaska at the northern end of Alaska’s inside passage is surrounded by an extremely jagged, heavily glaciated, mountain landscape. The area is home to the world’s largest non-polar ice cap. The mountains have more than 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 amongst the best in North America for helicopter skiing.
