Notch Powder Hut Offers Premier Backcountry Ski Experience in Girdwood Valley
The Notch Powder Hut stands as one of the leading backcountry ski bases in Alaska’s Girdwood Valley, set within the dramatic terrain of the Chugach Mountains. Surrounded by steep peaks and deep snowfields, the hut provides direct access to some of Southcentral Alaska’s most sought-after powder skiing terrain, attracting both experienced skiers and adventurous newcomers.
Positioned in a remote yet accessible alpine location, the hut serves as a practical staging point for daily ski tours into untouched backcountry slopes. Its setting allows guests to step directly into expansive mountain terrain, where deep snow, varied descents, and sweeping views define the skiing experience.
Inside, the hut offers a warm and comfortable refuge from the harsh mountain conditions. Guests are provided with sleeping accommodations and shared communal spaces designed for rest and social interaction after long days on the slopes. Evenings are often spent relaxing, sharing stories, and planning routes for the following day’s ski adventures.
Blending rugged wilderness access with essential comfort, the Notch Powder Hut creates a balanced alpine experience. It combines the thrill of backcountry skiing with the security of a well-equipped mountain base, making it a memorable destination for those seeking both adventure and respite in Alaska’s winter landscape.

Customer Reviews
Amazing experience from top to bottom. A friend and I did their 4 day package and it was the best skiing I have ever done with a really professional group of people. Making sure to give us the type of skiing we were looking for while being as safe as possible. I plan on being back many times with this company.
Outstanding day in the Chugachs. The equipment, guides (Rich & Micah), terrain and thankfully weather lived up to the best of our imagination. We had fresh lines and sparkling snow, a great mountain lunch and a ton of fun. You’ve got to do this at least once in your life, and I’d be hard pressed to imagine regretting do it with the pros at CPG.
This was hands-down the best snowboarding experience I’ve ever had in my entire life. The staff, the pilot, and even the group I got placed in was absolutely amazing. I was weathered out for three days unfortunately when I first got to Alaska, and I actually had to extend my trip for one more day to make it up for what has been a huge bucket list item for me and it was more than I ever could have expected. The best conditions. The best hospitality. The best views. It was just unreal. I will come back every year! And that’s coming from someone who snowboards all over the world. Alaska is just unbelievable. 1 small tip would be to leave your trip open ended for an unknown amount of days if you can. Just incase you get weathered out. Or… Book a few days out instead of just 1 or 2 to really make sure you get a slot!
