Backcountry Skiing

zero lift lines in Prince William Sound

Embark on the adventure of a lifetime in the heart of Alaska’s untouched winter wilderness. Nestled in one of the snowiest regions on Earth, Prince William Sound offers not only pristine terrain and world-class skiing but awe-inspiring views that will leave you breathless. Each day, we guide you to where conditions are at their absolute best, ensuring every run is an unforgettable experience.

Thrill-seekers can carve down steep fjord slopes, navigate deep powder through spruce tree runs, or explore untracked high alpine runs. For those seeking a milder experience, we tailor itineraries to include gentle rolling terrain for all skills and ages, fun snowshoe routes, and cross-country trails framed by breathtaking vistas.

After a thrilling day, relax aboard our yacht with chef-prepared meals, inviting interiors, and lots of cozy heaters. This is your own exquisite floating lodge—complete with all the comforts, and none of the crowds.

With over 35+ years of experience, our expert team ensures your adventure is safe, exhilarating, and uniquely crafted to your desires. From beach drop-offs to mountain pick-ups, every detail is designed to maximize your time in this unparalleled Alaskan paradise

good times whatever the Weather

When areas like Alyeska and the Chugach are shut down due to weather, we adapt by seeking out sheltered tree runs and serene meadows for incredible skiing. And on those days when the weather simply sits overhead, you won’t be stuck in a hotel watching movies. Instead, we’ll take you to explore stunning tidal glaciers or enjoy a leisurely day trolling for salmon in Alaska’s pristine waters.

Winter days come with extra rewards—by night, experience a true zero light pollution and witness the northern lights dancing across the glacial fjord-peppered skies in unmatched grandeur.
