Alaska Backcountry Guides

laska BackCountry Guides is a team of dedicated industry veterans based in the town of Valdez and fly in the Chugach Mountains. The focus is on providing an intimate/custom heliski and snowboard experience. The lodge is located in town with a team of chefs to meet all culinary needs.

As we all know Alaskan weather does prevent skiing every day, average # of days is about 3.5 heliski days per week. For this reason they are offering cat skiing, boat tours of Port Valdez, ski touring, e-foiling and many more activities to keep you busy on those down-days (some activities come with an added surcharge).
