K2 Mindbender 116

If you're an old friend of dreamy powder days but a stranger to fatty skis, allow us to introduce you to the K2 Mindbender 116 C Skis. Release these light yet hefty powder players into their natural habitat to surf through deep snow, or find a sturdy edge hold and plow through chop and crud without missing a beat. The Mindbenders are almost too good to be true, and they're sure to make you a convert. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the snow!

Meier Strata

If charging big lines is your style, this ski won’t back down. This big mountain ski charger is a stiffer, wider, and full rocker version compared to the more classic 5-point ski, the Eureka, and was previously called Heritage Fat. The 127mm underfoot with early rise will keep you surfing the deep stuff on those bluebird powder days. This is one of our top picks for heli skiing!

DIMENSIONS: 145 / 127 / 135
SIZES: 183, 192

Winterstick Roundtail

Surfy and fun, the Roundtail is a directional powder board that can handle anything you throw at it. Don't let the powder board moniker faze you, it still carves like a champ. Long low rise nose, initiated just before the contact point in combination with full camber lets the board shape keep you on top of the snow, with minimal plowing in front of the board.

SPECS: 30mm of Taper & 59/41 nose/tail powder balance
SIZES: 148, 153, 158(w), 163(w), 168(w)

Avalanche Rescue Gear

Shovel, Probe, & Transciever: Includes BCA Tracker2 beacon with harness, BCA shovel, and BCA Stealth 300 probe. All of the products are key components to a safe excursion in avalanche terrain.

Harness and Carabiner are provided for use while skiing in and around crevasses. Our harnesses come in a variety of sizes and will be sized to each guest during orientation.

Ski/Board Boots

Marker Sole ID bindings are ISO 5355 (alpine norm/19 mm height) and ISO 9523 boot soles (grip walk/28 mm height). Some touring boots may not work with our bindings!  Dynafit/tech bindings are not recommended for heli skiing, and we strongly suggest alpine bindings/alpine boots for heli skiing in AK.
