SKIING & RIDING<\/h2>\n

A typical day is 6 \u2013 10 runs. Several factors determine the number of runs per day; vertical package, run length, group fitness, ability, number of groups, snow conditions, the weather, flight distance to terrain. On some rare days you may ski fewer than six runs, while on others it may be ten runs, or even more. Lunch is served in the field and consists of homemade soups, sandwiches, desserts and hot cocoa.<\/p>\n

MOUNTAIN WEATHER<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”When making our daily tour plans…” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

When making our daily tour plans, weather is one of the most important factors. Our location is slightly inland and at a higher elevation than all other Alaska heli ski companies, this allows for the most consistent powder and more flyable days than any other Alaska operation. Skiers and riders come to Alaska and the Chugach Mountains for the endless variety of terrain and huge snowfalls. You will find great conditions from opening day in February until our last powder turns in April.<\/p>\n

Our lodge\u2019s elevation is 3000 feet \u2013 the highest elevation of any heli ski lodge or ski lift in Alaska, this provides us with the best snow quality and the most flyable days in all of Alaska. Alaska is not a cold, dark place, often the opposite. The average daylight is 11 hours for February and 16 hours for April. The Pacific Ocean does an amazing job of providing moisture for large, consistent snowfalls, as well as moderating winter temperatures. Daytime temperatures are just like you would likely find at your local ski resort.<\/p>\n

On days where the weather doesn’t permit flying we have a variety of activities to participate in around the lodge including, nordic skiing, skeet shooting, hiking, glacier tours, massages, etc.<\/p>\n

Typical Day<\/h1>

Before your trip you will receive a welcome packet and have spoken with us via phone\/email. Please read our website thoroughly and let us you know if you have any questions. If you represent a group please pass all appropriate information along. There is nothing typical about a day of heli skiing, but hopefully the following outline will paint a picture of what to expect. The following example is for our 3 day package, if you are with us for 5 or 7 days (or\u00a0longer)\u00a0just add the appropriate number of ski days.<\/p>

Your First Evening<\/strong><\/p>

We will greet you on the evening your package starts, approximately\u00a05-7 p.m. in baggage claim at the Anchorage International Airport; this is our meeting and departure location for our guests. Please be sure we have your flight information, mobile phone number and any other relevant travel information. Note that many flights arrive and depart Anchorage around midnight. After we gather your gear it is a 115 mile\/2-2.5 hour scenic drive to our lodge. Once at the lodge we will get you settled into your accommodations, you will meet all of the staff and then have a delicious dinner. After dinner we will get your paper work and gear sorted, and answer any questions you have while you become acquainted with our lodge and staff.<\/p>

Day 1\/First Ski Day<\/strong><\/p>

Homemade Breakfast is served from 8 to 9\u00a0and is buffet style. After breakfast\u00a0we will have a 30 to 40 minute PowerPoint\/video orientation regarding our safety procedures, protocols and gear. Next we will go outside and practice our avalanche rescue skills (transceiver, shovel, probe, communication and teamwork) and complete an aircraft orientation. This typically takes 1 to 2 hours depending on the number of guests. We do not compromise on safety and we believe in thorough guest training. The orientation\/training is only on your first day, each day after this it is breakfast and then skiing.<\/p>

Each\u00a0morning (and evening)\u00a0our guides will give our guests a weather\/snow report, outline the general plan for the day and let you know who your guide(s) will be. We also have an information board in our lodge with the same information.<\/p>

Groups are organized by keeping friends and family together, ability and group weights. A group is up to 5 guests and one guide, though very often 4 guests or less and 2 guides compromises a group. After 3-6 runs lunch is served in the field and then skiing resumes for another 3-6+ runs. Our helicopter configuration is 4 guests in the back seat (facing forward), 1 guide in the front, and at times 1 guest in the front (weight restrictions apply) and the pilot. We ski\/operate in small groups; we do not fly the 205 or 212 helicopters which may hold up to 10 guests.<\/p>

A typical ski\/snowboard day is anywhere from 6-12 runs (and yes, some days may be 4-5 runs and other days may be 14-15 runs), this all depends on when we depart for skiing, group fitness, the number of groups, the weather, how far we fly and if it is your first day, last day, or you are in the middle of your stay.<\/p>

Lunch is homemade soups, sandwiches, desserts and coco\/coffee. We ask that you carry a water bottle in your pack, that way you can hydrate whenever needed.<\/p>

Typically we are done skiing and back at the lodge for appetizers and drinks between 3 to 6, this again depends on how many groups we have, fitness, when we depart, the weather...<\/p>

Dinner is served\u00a0between 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. or adjusted as needed to accommodate our skiing schedule. Dinner is 3-4\u00a0plated courses (family style)\u00a0and fantastic (like all of our meals). We take food seriously and\u00a0we aim to impress.\u00a0Our bar (alcohol is not included in our packages) will stay open as long as our guests would like a libation. Quiet time in the lodge is at 11 p.m. as many of our guests tend to turn in early so they are ready for the next day.<\/p>

Day 2<\/strong><\/p>

Homemade breakfast buffet served from 8 to 9. Depart for skiing between 9 to 10. Ski, ski, ski, eat lunch in the field, ski, ski, ski, back at the lodge anywhere between 3 to 6 for appetizers, drinks and dinner.<\/p>

Day 3\/Last Ski Day<\/strong><\/p>

Homemade breakfast buffet served from 8 to 9. We ask on the morning\u00a0of your last day to have your bags mostly packed and in the hallway, and if possible loaded and in the van\u00a0so you are ready to\u00a0depart for Anchorage in the afternoon. Showers will be available for you at the end of your ski day. Depart for skiing between 9 to 10. Ski, ski, ski, eat lunch in the field, ski, ski, ski. After skiing we need to check your gear in, check you out and\u00a0get you back to the airport for your flight home, and pick-up our incoming guests. Your package does not include dinner on your last day. We generally want to be driving away from our lodge\u00a0at 3 p.m. which puts us at the Anchorage airport around 5 to 5:30.<\/p>
