      <image:title>Backcountry Skiing &amp; Heliskiing - Helicopter Skiing in Alaska for Newbies</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a winter sports enthusiast, you’ve likely skied your share of resort throughout the Pacific Northwest. While this part of the country has some of the best skiing in the world, Alaska heli-skiing is a completely different experience. Alaska is still wild and untamed. It’s not like Telluride heli-skiing or Canada heli-skiing. While these locales are undoubtedly beautiful, they’re well-populated and oft-visited. With Alaska helicopter skiing, you’ll likely be able to see glaciers, wildlife, and even Prince William Sound from your vaunted perch on the Chugach Mountains. You may think of Alaska heli-skiing as a bit more backcountry than you’re used to, but remember, your guide will accompany you on your heliskiing adventure, leading the way and helping you stay safe.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Backcountry Skiing &amp; Heliskiing - Heliskiing in Alaska for Seasoned Skiers</image:title>
      <image:caption>Even if you’re practiced at heliskiing, you’ll definitely be wowed by the awe-inspiring beauty of the mountains in Alaska. The rugged terrain and the sheer inaccessibility of the Chugach Mountains by any other means than a helicopter makes a heliskiing experience with Alaska Backcountry Guides unforgettable. If you are a veteran of heliskiing, you likely remember when you first fell in love with it — how the sleek, untouched slopes beckoned to you. But like shooting rapids or scaling cliffs, returning to the same challenge gets boring. And when you’re looking for a new and exciting locale, heli-skiing in Alaska is a great choice. While the mountains of Canada can be exciting and challenging as well, unfortunately so can visiting another country, considering the travel warnings, rules, and paperwork involved.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Backcountry Snowboarding &amp; Heliboarding - Snowboarding in Alaska for Newbies</image:title>
      <image:caption>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.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Backcountry Snowboarding &amp; Heliboarding - Alaska Helicopter Snowboarding for Seasoned Veterans</image:title>
      <image:caption>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.</image:caption>

      <image:title>A Canada Heliskiing &amp; Heliboarding Alternative - Alaska Helicopter Skiing</image:title>
      <image:caption>Alaska is known as the Last Frontier State because of its wild, untamed terrain. It’s more than half a million square miles of wilderness, home to elk, sheep, bears, and more. You can’t climb to the top of the Chugach Mountains when they’re covered with snow (it’s a formidable challenge when they’re not), so the only way to get there is by helicopter. Once you try Alaska heliskiing, you’ll be hooked. The deafening quiet, the icy blue skies, and the miles of untouched snow that are part of the Alaska helicopter snowboarding experience feel almost holy. While we agree that heliskiing in Canada is beautiful as well, it has its limitations.</image:caption>

      <image:title>A Canada Heliskiing &amp; Heliboarding Alternative - Advantages of Alaska Heliboarding &amp; Skiing</image:title>
      <image:caption>Skiing in Alaska is an unforgettable experience, as is snowboarding in Alaska. Adding in a helicopter so you can get to the backcountry kicks up the experience not merely a notch, but 100 notches. Alaska heli skiing is for experienced skiers and boarders who are also the ultimate thrill-seekers as well as intermediates who are looking for their next adventure. To learn more about Alaska heli snowboarding or heliskiing in Alaska, contact the team at Alaska Backcountry Guides. We’ll tell you how we can make your next ski trip nothing less than extraordinary.</image:caption>
