Alaska Heliskiing is awesome! Why? First of all the mountains are unreal, the snow is amazing, and the people here are real. I have skied all over the World and Alaska and can definitely say that skiing in Haines is the best. The people at Alaska Heliskiing have a way of making you feel like family, my only warning is careful..... you might never want to leave!

This place is awesome! Great people and Great terrain!! Really know how to make you feel at home, and also get you into some Crazy mountains!
Wow! Amazing! I had an abselute blast skiing with these guys! Everything from the service, food, lodge, vibe and people where amazing! The terrain is just insane, combine this with guides that are able to construct runns after all different skill levels, then you know that this is going to be unreal! Thanks again guys, ski you soon!
What dreams are made of!! Missed a good snow cycle, but for how bad the snow conditions were, the heli and guides got us on some incredible terrain with POW!! Got a taste of spines and can’t wait to go back!! And even during down days we did a lot of fun stuff like surfing, OneWheeling, and a trip to Juneau! A true Alaskan experience!! Everything you want out of skiing and more!!
Updating my previous review. It wasn't the not flying that was a problem. It was the continuous lying and not being upfront. After the entire week of not being honest by omission the deposit is none refundable. Direct questions were avoided with promises of blue sky's and powder. I wouldn't risk my money on this place again, give it to the other company.
Unfortunately we did have a very mixed experience with AH. In the beginning we had a responsible guide. We had a great day and some really great runs. But things changed when a film crew booked in at AH. We then had to follow their footsteps. Dont get me wrong, we are good skiers, we like to be challenged. But very steep open faces after days of relevant snowfall and very high winds are seldom a good idea. At least not unless you know every face and its snow accumulation of the season extremely well. So no wonder we experienced several little avalanches and then one really big avalanche, probably 3000ft long and 900ft wide. That one did catch my friend and ended our holiday with injury. I am very well aware about the risk of our sport. But the guiding on that day was definately not on the safe side. Some daredevils might say that you dont go to Haines to be safe, and you may have to go to extremes for a ski movie, but i would have rather skied slopes that fit the conditions and ski the crazy stuff when conditions permit. To add to this, there wasnt any discussion with us after the accident. It seems the opinion was something like: Nobody died, so we just ignore what happened. Further assistance as medical help or a refund for not used flights was also not offered. Note: This was a while ago and hopefully avalanche awareness and attitude towards customers has changed by now. But when i saw the Google entry all these unfortunately bad memories came up again and i just had to write about this.
This place will change how you think about the mountains and about your own skiing. These guys definitely helped better my entire life. Reading some of the reviews regarding refunds and deposits and flyable days, all I can say is those guys haven't put in the time to understand the incredible amount of nuance and variables that go into flying helicopters in big mountains. I guarantee that if it was safe and sensible to fly and ski when those guys were there, that's exactly what would have happened. No one starts a heliski company if they don't want to go skiing every opportunity possible.
This is the place to get the full Alaska experience. Steep pow if you desire or rolling aspects make you feel safe in a wild environment. The professional guides make you feel at home as well ,no egos pure Alaska experience.
