Snow / Alaska

The reason why we are the most successful heli-ski operation in Alaska is simple. We access the best terrain in the world and provide the most complete lodging experience in Alaska. Our return rate of over 70% confirms what guests have been saying since the first season: they want to come back forever! Nestled peacefully at the head of Orca Inlet in Prince William Sound, Cordova has mystique all her own. She dazzles you with glacier-carved mountains and lush forests!

Travel to the edge of unexplored regions to find the steepest, deepest and most thrilling runs of your life. Or looking for more gentle bowls? We definitely can say - our terrain covers it all! With Chugach Powder Guides you can choose between two bases & terrain options: First one is Girdwood in the western Chugach Mountains where you have access to infrastructure, nightlife and more amenities.

“I’ve skied in every major mountain range that has helicopter access in Alaska and I can say that without a doubt, the terrain in Haines accessed by the SEABA boys is the most challenging, steepest, and longest ski terrain I’ve laid tracks down.  The concentration of A+ lines is remarkable.  Out every window of the helicopter at any second of flight you can spot some of the best skiable lines on earth.”

If living in Alaska’s wild interior has always been a dream then our Bush camp is for you. Robe Lake Lodge, Valdez’ finest lodging! Only minutes from downtown Valdez Alaska lies Robe Lake. Minutes away is the Legendary Thompson Pass, home of the best skiing and snowboarding terrain in the world.

Valdez’s Chugach Mountains offer you the perfect combination of steep, ride-able terrain, abundant powder & clear weather cycles. Thanks to the pioneering efforts of founder Doug Coombs, VHSG is able to guide you safely in this, the world’s most adventurous winter-sports playground. Our heli-skiing is unlike anything you could ever imagine. Our ski runs are long and adventurous (up to 5,000 vertical feet), and deep powder is the norm.
