Overview of Guided Ski Programs
Southcentral Alaska has the best backcountry skiing of any city in the US. Within an hour drive of Anchorage are five backcountry ski zones: the Chugach Front, Alaska Range, Western Chugach, Talkeetna and Kenai Mountains. Each range has a unique weather and snow climate, which often dictate the range we venture into. Take a look at the options below, then contact me and we'll sort out a trip.
Ski Mountaineering
Ski mountaineering means we bring a rope. The rope may be used to prevent a fall in steep terrain or for glacier travel. Alaska has the best ski mountaineering in the United States. From just beyond Anchorage, glaciers extend almost unbroken to the lower 48. Below I've listed some popular trips I guide, but we can go anywhere.
Backcountry Skiing
Non-glaciated and non-technical. Backcountry skiing is about seeking great snow. Depending on your interests, I guide the full range: from evenings on Peak 3 to huge 8,000-vertical foot days in the Western Chugach.
