I Want To Ride All Day
Is 6 runs per day enough for your long awaited Alaska heli ski trip? Almost every other operator averages 6 runs per day over the span of their week-long heli trip. Regardless of if they charge in vertical feet or runs per day your average will likely be 6 runs per day. Silverton Mountain Guides prefers to ride strong all day long with 10-18+ high quality runs per day. You have been dreaming of this trip and 6 runs a day may not be enough..

2015 Northern Chugach Season 100% Sold Out
The good word has spread and the final slots for 2016 are gone and we are again 100% sold out. With normally only 12 skiers/riders per week, space is in very high demand as we have sold out in full every season in our history. We do get cancellations so it’s worth putting your name on the wait list.
Private ships can usually be added at any time at any date.

Alaska is filled with great terrain, huge ramps and some killer couloirs, but perfect spines can be harder to find…
