Been dreaming of an Alaska ski week like no other? Join us in the stunning port town of Valdez, Alaska. Our adventure is centered near Thompson Pass, a location renowned for world class big mountain skiing experiences, from steep descents descents to scenic glacier runs.
Exploring Valdez and Thompson Pass:
During your week seize the opportunity to ski iconic descents such as the Python, Berlin Wall, Acupulco, and couloirs along the Stairway. These iconic backciuntry ski runs are nestled alongside the picturesque Richardson Highway, offering breathtaking views of the Chugach Mountains. Whether your skiing dreams seek steep ramps and couloirs or prefer the serenity of cruising down long runs like the Worthington Glacier, Valdez, is a haven for ski mountaineers but still caters to enthusiasts of all skill levels. Weather permitting, we even offer the option to elevate your ski touring experience with heli assisted touring and skiing. And when weather conditions shut down the helicopters and airplanes we'll expertly navigate terrain from the Port of Valdez to Tonsina.

Our cozy accommodations await you at the charming Harbor Inn in Valdez. Fuel up with a hearty breakfast each morning before departing on your day's adventure. Our double-occupancy rooms provide the perfect space to unwind, rejuvenate, and prepare for the next thrilling day in the mountains.

Your journey begins with an morning arrival in Anchorage, followed by a scenic drive along the Richardson Highway to Valdez.
