Seward heli skiing is truly incredible. The terrain features spines, ramps, chutes and some truly exceptional below tree line runs. The sub-alpine zone is an especially valuable aspect of the experience Silverton Mountain Guides offers. This terrain, which skis directly down to the town of Seward, can provide an insurance policy for bad weather and flat light. In total, this Heli skiing zone around Seward gives Silverton Mountain Guides maximum flexibility to find excellent conditions.
December and January are prime season in Seward as the snow reliably stacks up incredibly early and deep. The town of Seward is one of the most beautiful places on earth, attached to a charming and productive fishing port just 2 hours from Anchorage.
Lodging options range from waterfront Hotels to beautiful local Lodges or luxury B&B’s depending on the needs of the group. Seward dining is up to the guests and equally diverse depending on tastes with meals typically eaten out as a group.
Seward is perhaps the nicest town in all of Alaska, with a wonderful community, small town charm, and great dining and bars. Seward trips are based from town allowing the freedom and fun to explore the town of Seward day and night.
*Helicopter time is measured in Hobbs hours (actual time on throttle or in flight). One hour of Hobbs can provide for a substantial amount of actual skiing as it only takes a few minutes of flight time to get from the bottom of a run up to a peak etc. You get to ski as many runs as possible within the 4 hours.
Seward Details:
Once in Girdwood, skiers will meet at 8am on the first ski day. We welcome you in Girdwood, travel to our base in Seward where we provide a comprehensive safety briefing, and are heli skiing by mid-morning of day one. At the end of the 5 day trip we will transport you back to the Anchorage Airport not later than 9pm on your final day of skiing.
