A multifaceted Alaska Ski Experience
This trip is designed for those looking to experience skiing/riding in Alaska and learn more about traveling in bigger mountain ranges.
Our itinerary is divided into two sections. First, we will ski tour the iconic Thompson Pass near Valdez for two days to warm up for our trip. Secondly, we aim to teach you the fundamentals of glacier skiing from a plane on a remote glacier for several days. Here we ski to and from camp in our own basin. You will learn glacier camping, glacier travel, and proper life-styling.
Potential locations include, Thompson Pass, Hatcher Pass, and the Tordrillo Mountains.
Join us this April 13 – 20, 2025 for our Alaska ski trip! Please shoot us an email or give us a call for more information.
