Girdwood Heli Skiing
Girdwood Heli Skiing
covers over 1,500 sq. miles of mountainous
terrain with gentle bowls, giant mountain faces,
massive glaciers and sheltered tree skiing.
Based in the friendly ski village of
Girdwood,
we are only a 40-minute drive from Ted Stevens
Anchorage International Airport.
:: dates of operation
Our season starts in late January or early
February and ends in mid-April. Each month
offers its own unique characteristics. Daylight
starts at 9.5 hours in late January and rapidly
gains to 14 hours by the end of April.
:: weather and
conditions
The Western Chugach Mountain Range benefits from
the combined influences of warm Pacific Ocean
air mixing with colder arctic air that blows in
from the Alaska interior. The resulting
high-quality powder snow is why this coastal
mountain range is famous. Our operation areas
average 600 inches (1,524 cm) of snowfall each
winter. Average temperatures from February to
mid-March are 20F (-7C). In March, there is a
gain of nearly six minutes per day, and as the
days grow longer, afternoon highs are typically
20°F to 30°F (-7C to -1C). Dry powder conditions
can be found on all but the southernfacing
slopes, where excellent corn snow offers yet
another style of skiing.
Alaska’s Western Chugach
Mountains wrap around some of the best
helicopter skiing and boarding terrain in the
world. The 3,000 to 4,000-foot vertical runs are
found on hundreds of peaks, providing guests
with more powder than they can ride in one trip.
Guests can ski directly from our Girdwood base
and from there explore the northern zones, or
base their adventure from one of our remote heli
ports in the southern areas. Most guests ski
both during their week-long adventure. Runs like
“Lost Shots,” “Dendrites” and “Wall Street” dish
out quintessential Alaska heli-skiing.
Conditions permitting, aggressive mountain lines
like “Comet Couloir,” “Stolen Face,” and “Sky
Walker” wait to be skied. It’s about being
challenged, and safe. Stability and conditions
take priority when selecting runs and planning
the day. If our guides won’t take you to a peak,
there’s a reason
