Points North is holding a 3 day informal camp here at Squaw Valley USA in Lake Tahoe. This camp is designed for you to come to our home mountain prior to your trip with us in Alaska.

We are calling it an informal camp as there will not be any video or sit down class room instruction. Just good old fashioned skiing and riding with the crew of Points North. Most of our team members reside here in Squaw Valley and many are either Senior Patrollers and/or members of the Squaw Valley Free Ride Team.

Needless to say our knowledge of the mountain and its surroundings can only guarantee you a time like no other.  Of course, the après time at the end of each day will be a good time in it self with the addition of the new village here at Squaw.

Points North is proud to announce the first ever Chugach Crossing.  We are opening up our land at PNH 2 and all points in-between. Over the past couple years we have been monitoring the snow pack and weather patterns of our latest endeavor at PNH 2.  This year 8 lucky guests will get to join in the naming adventure.

Guests will fly into Anchorage International airport on Saturday the 18th of February. All guests will then embark of the 2 1/2 hour drive to PNH 2 early Sunday morning the 19th. The A-Star will be waiting for you. You will then have the 19th - 24th (6 days at PNH 2) to help open our new land. Saturday the 24th we will then head to Valdez, via the heli or shuttle and name our way to the sound. A shuttle will be available for transportation to Valdez in the event weather does not allow us to fly across the glacier. From there you have 5 more ski days in and around Valdez before we fly to Cordova on the 1st.

The idea here is ski and fly as much of the Chugach range as possible. The distance from PNH 2 - Valdez is just under 80 miles or so and then Cordova is another additional 35 miles or so, depending upon the direction we fly.  One could ski from both locations in a single day, however, with so much land in-between the 3 locations, we have decided to connect all of  the dots. This way you will have the opportunity to explore the best of the Chugach and be flexible with the weather patterns. We will be mobile.

This the first ever trip and we ask that those of you involved are advanced riders. This is the first ever trip with guests into the new PNH 2 zone. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!

Cordova still has a few spots left available for the spring. I know I have spoken to many of you that intend on coming to Cordova again this year. If you do not have your time locked down as of yet, you have to give us a call. Currently we have several weeks completely sold out. We will be running all 3 of our beautiful A-Star helicopters again for your enjoyment.

Wondering where you should go heli-skiing?

It seems as though each Alaska Operator has something that sets them apart.  Many things remain true for all of us operating in Alaska.  No one has created that special weather pattern that creates blue bird skies each day or can claim that their land is more unique or larger.  All of us in Alaska access the incredible Chugach Mountains and all of us get the same unique snow pack that the Gulf of Alaska can only produce.

The big difference that separates Points North Heli from the rest is simple:

• 3 helicopters

• Unique Locations

• Beautiful Facilities

• and Loyal Guests that keep on returning (view guest video).

For those of you currently making a decision about your upcoming trip to Alaska, I can only hope that Points North is your choice for an adventure beyond dreams.
