ACTIVITY DAYS

At Points North, we offer a variety of activities around the area when The snow is piling up in the mountains.

This is another area where PNH separates itself from all other heli operations in the world. Every day you will wake up on the waters edge of Prince William Sound, surrounded by the mountains. This natural setting creates the perfect playground for enjoying all of what Alaska has to offer.

We have sea-kayaks, Electric hydro-foils, ice climbing, snowshoe tours, ski touring, adventure hikes and glacier tours. We have partnered with several locals to provide incredible Oyster tours. Fishing can often be arranged but our ski season does not overlap with the prime time AK fishing season.

One of the all-time favorites, when the conditions line up, is skiing or riding at Mt. Eyak followed by fish and chips or king crab legs and a few of your favorite adult beverages at the Reluctant Fisherman overlooking Cordova Harbor.

Mt. Eyak Ski Area (“The Ski HIll”)

The local chair lift in town accesses 800 vertical feet. Mt. Eyak will be one of the most memorable ski areas you will ever experience. The view is spectacular as you overlook Prince William Sound and the town of Cordova. Runs range from bunny hill to expert and there is a challenge for any skill level. The chair at Eyak is the oldest chair lift in North America, brought from Sun Valley, Idaho. If you have ever skied Mt. Baker ski area, Eyak feels like a mini Baker.

Ticket Prices: $30 – day pass

The lift can also be used to jump start your hike or skin up the ridge in the backyard. Take the lift and after a short hike, you can be skiing back down to lodge for dinner!
