Heli Skiing in Valdez, Alaska

Helicopter Lift Rides

Heli-Skiing and Snowboarding

The helicopter is the ultimate mode of transport to ride to the top of the mountain if you have the desire to ski or board all the way back to the bottom. Its like hiring a flying limo to take you and your best friends out into the mountains for the ultimate adrenaline activity. Riding in a helicopter, landing on top of an untracked mountain and leaving fresh tracks in powder snow is the dream of many. Are you ready to create a memory to last a lifetime?

Valdez has four different operators to choose from – Alaska Rendezvous Guides (ARG), Alaska Snowboard Guides (ASG), Black Ops Valdez (BOV) and Valdez Heli Ski Guides (VHSG). Only the best guides are chosen to work at these operations and if you’re lucky you might just get one of the veteran guides who have been leading people down these
mountains for over 20+ years.

Safety always comes first and you will be given a briefing about the helicopter and what to do in an emergency on the mountain. Avalanche backpacks with Beacon, shovel and probe are always supplied, though if you have your own it’s best to use equipment you’re familiar with as long as it’s reliable. Bringing a helmet and a spare puffy just in case are also recommend.
