This definitely goes down as one of the premiere experiences of my life! As an intermediate rider, I was very intimidated by the prospect of skiing in AK. When I got here, and saw the mountains, I was downright nervous! Any doubts that I had in myself or in the guides melted away after the first run! The guides selected funs that were exactly what I was after. It was as if they’d read my mind. Even through the steepest sections of slope, I felt comfortable because the guides were always supportive, patient and in good position. I never felt rushed, out of my element or in danger. It was nothing like I expected. Thank-you all for the best ski day of my life. We’ll be back!
