The Guides

OUR HELI-SKI GUIDES
TRAINED. EXPERIENCED. PASSIONATE.
Simply the world’s finest.
The leaders of our heli-skiing adventures are our highly experienced guides. Recognized as some of the best in the business, our guides are teamed up with skiers and snowboarders at a ratio of 4:1 or 3:2. A few have been guiding in the Chugach since heli-skiing arrived in the early 1990’s.
Simply the world’s finest.

They work hard earning certificates as qualified ski guides, avalanche forecasters and wilderness first responders. And on vacation, they climb and ski the highest peaks in the Alaska Range, the Alps, and the Andes.

In the three decades we’ve been operating, our guides have developed a safety program designed to minimize risks; including thorough mountain safety, avalanche forecasting, prevention and rescue, and helicopter safety for all our guests.

OUR GUESTS
STAY SAFE.
And have fun!
The amazing Chugach lines you see skied in movies are real, but the majority of our runs aren’t nearly so death-defying. Our guides have hosted skiers and riders from all over the world, with all levels of advanced mountain experience.

If you’re able to keep a controlled run on the in-bounds steeps of a major resort, they can make sure you have the time of your life in Alaska. Our thorough safety program, experienced guides, excellent ski conditions, and stable snowpack mean you’ll be able to ski the kind of terrain that makes Alaska heli-skiing legendary the world around.
