A helicopter hovers in the air while a snowboarder takes to the steep slopes of the Chilkat Range in Southeast Alaska in the USA during the winter. Fresh powder blanketing the Chilkat Range provides the ideal conditions for this snowboarder as the sun glistens across the landscape.
A professional heli skiing guide will take you to the peaks of this range and most likely descend down the slopes with you. The danger of avalanches is very real while heli skiing but if weather conditions do not cooperate, the high risk level is the first consideration before these trips depart. Trained professionals are certified in emergency situations such as avalanches, crevasse rescues and medical emergencies which are practiced and updated regularly.
The terrain of the Chilkat Range offers some of the best heli skiing in Alaska where steep runs, some being over 5,000 vertical feet, makes dreams for thrill seekers come true. Heli skiing is not a cheap thrill but there is no other adventure like this one for a snowboarder or skier and is one that will be remembered for a lifetime.
