LUXURY LODGING at ALYESKA RESORT
Luxury lodging is the norm for SMG Heli. Basing from Alyeska Resort has many perks with a multitude of restaurant, spa and entertainment options.
TWO HIGHLY EXPERIENCED GUIDES WITH EVERY GROUP
SMG sets the highest standard with two highly trained guides for each group creating an additional layer for assessing snow and helicopter safety. Since SMG Heli operates Oct-May, we spend considerably more time doing actual AK heli ski guiding each year than anyone else. SMG is committed to professionalism and consistency, prioritizing your safety and enjoyment. The professionalism of your heli skiing operator is crucial in determining the quality of your experience and level of safety.
PRE-SCREENED GROUPS
SMG Heli has a thorough pre-screening process before accepting your reservation to prevent you from having your dream trip turn into a potential nightmare.
100% ALASKAN PILOTS & AIRCRAFT
We only work with the best helicopter and pilots in the business. At a legendary operation like SMG you expect to be around legendary pilots that live in Alaska and know Alaska inside and out.
OPERATIONAL OCTOBER - MAY
Why wait until spring when the best AK skiing of the season is typically in November and December! SMG Heli strategically chooses to use only one helicopter, per week allowing our team to focus entirely on your guest week. This means we are nimble and get you out skiing when larger operations cannot.
