Full-Day Tour

This backcountry ski trip begins in Girdwood, home to the famous Alyeska Resort. Depending on your chosen destination, the drive to Turnagain Pass takes approximately thirty minutes, Summitt Pass about one hour south, and Hatcher’s Pass in the Talkeetna Mountains roughly two hours north. The guide selects the best location based on snow quality, weather conditions, avalanche forecasts, and your skiing abilities. This ensures a safe, enjoyable, and tailored experience for all participants while exploring some of Alaska’s most scenic backcountry terrain. Each day is carefully planned to maximize skiing opportunities while providing breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and wilderness.

A full-day tour typically includes multiple runs in the backcountry, though the number and difficulty of runs depend on snow and mountain conditions. Guides work closely with participants to find the optimal terrain for each day, ensuring both safety and enjoyment. Skiers seeking steeper or more challenging lines are encouraged to consider multi-day trips, as conditions vary and may not guarantee advanced terrain on a single day. With experienced guides leading the way, participants gain confidence, skill, and the chance to explore some of Alaska’s most pristine and adventurous ski areas. This backcountry tour provides a unique combination of expert instruction, alpine adventure, and unforgettable natural beauty.
