Backcountry Snowboarding & Heliboarding
Elevate Your Snowboarding: Heliboarding in Alaska
It’s man versus nature, and you’re winning. Sure, you’re using a helicopter, but that’s the advantage of the “man” part. When you stand at the top of the Chugach Mountain range and look down at the seemingly endless expanse of untouched white powder, you know you’re in for the experience of a lifetime. That’s what heliboarding with Alaska Backcountry Guides is all about.
If you’re used to standing in the lift line at resorts, Alaska backcountry snowboarding is the change of pace you’re looking for.
Snowboarding in Alaska for Newbies
Snowboarding is a daring sport, regardless of where you do it. It’s exhilarating, exciting, and can even be a little dangerous (that’s why it’s exhilarating and exciting). And as much as you enjoy your sport, the truth is that sometimes you long for more.
You may have traveled to other mountains throughout the West — maybe in Colorado or even Canada. And these trips are fun, but nothing compares to heli snowboarding in Alaska.
Alaska is beautiful, rugged, wild territory. You may even spot some wildlife from the helicopter as we’re flying in to drop you off. When you step out of the helicopter, it’s just you, your guide, and your private heliboarding party on that mountain.
Alaska Backcountry Guides maximizes your thrills while limiting your risk by providing an experienced and trained guide for each adventure to improve your experience and to help in case of emergency.
Alaska Helicopter Snowboarding for Seasoned Veterans
Even if you’re a veteran backcountry snowboarder, you’ll be stunned at the unique experience that is heliboarding in Alaska. The terrain is simply stunningly different. In Colorado, navigating between trees is part of backcountry snowboarding. It’s fun, but it’s not something you find with Alaska heli snowboarding. Once that helicopter that drops you on the mountain takes off again, you’re left to stand there and gape in awe at the pristine conditions above the tree line that an Alaska snowboarding trip delivers.
The sky seems bluer than you’ve ever seen it, the sun brighter, the air clearer. Try though you might, you won’t hear a sound — only the beating of your own heart. Alaska heli snowboarding is a fantasy, but it’s real.
As you progress down the mountain, the lower slopes are laid out like huge waves perfect for snowboarders — it’s an amazing gift from the heavens.
