Skiing

EXPLORE THE ARCTIC


We are the farthest north and west heli-ski operator in the world! Our winter playground lies just over 100 miles south of the arctic circle and east of the international dateline. During ski season we enjoy generally stable snowpack, sunny weather and long days. Nome, Alaska is known for the gold rush, the Iditarod, and chilly arctic winds, but come April it’s a skier’s paradise with untouched terrain.

Skiing for Everyone

Join us in Nome, get off the established bootpack, and make your own tracks in remote arctic backcountry. Whether you are a professional skier looking for first descents, or you’re just learning backcountry techniques, we have terrain for everyone. It is not necessary to have any previous heli-ski or backcountry experience to enjoy a trip with us!

Our trips are week-long and feature either helicopter skiing, or snowmobile-assisted backcountry skiing. On your arrival day you’ll be familiarized with our snowmobiles and take a short ride to our property north of Nome where comfortable cabins await. For the next six days, you’ll enjoy scenic helicopter flights and/or snowmobile rides from the backyard to the mountains and spot bear, moose and musk oxen along the way. Along with our guides and pilot, you’ll be a part of selecting runs, from big easy untracked spring cruisers, to steep and narrow couloirs. Guides will mix in a few favorite runs and pioneer some new ones, all while matching the terrain to your level of skiing. Evenings are spent in our comfortable hosted cabin accommodations featuring excellent meals, beer, wine and cocktails, and even a wood-fired hot tub. This is sure to be a trip you won’t forget!
