Snowcat Remote Alaskan Backcountry

Valdez, Alaska

Description

Added by Alpenglow Expeditions

Grab a group of buddies and prepare yourself for an amazing powder and ski or boarding experienceThe best way to get uncharted runs in for a fraction of the cost of heli-skiingAverage between 6 to 8 runs based on location length of runs

Snowcat skiing at it's finest, at over half-a-dozen operating areas spread from Valdez to the interior side of Thompson Pass. This allows us a variety of options depending on snow conditions and weather at any given time of the year. Our snowcats are versatile and much easier and casual than sled or snowmobile skiing!

Enjoy riding up the mountain with up to fifteen people in warmth and comfort. We operate two restored Thiokol Sprytes that are in near new condition and are truly part of American skiing’s history. Our machines are inspected daily to insure your safety, and that your Valdez snowcat skiing experience is a positive one! Our machines are also capable of being repaired much faster in the event of something breaking down, due to the simplicity and availability of parts in Valdez. This combined with having two machines, allows us to keep you out skiing!

There is no doubt that we can access much of the terrain that you can with a helicopter or snowmobile. But, that being said, we have terrain that ranges from mellow to extreme in each or our operating areas.

If you need a great place to stay, check out Robe Lake Lodge offering 2 double rooms and 4 single rooms, our Lodge is ideal for 6-10 person private groups
