Points North Heli Adventures is the only heli-skiing operation utilizing the southeastern side of the Chugach Mountains.

Over the past decade, the Chugach Range has proven to be the premier destination worldwide for helicopter skiing and boarding. Accessed by ferry or plane, Cordova is unlike any other community in the state. Alaska Airlines flies into Cordova twice daily from Seattle and Anchorage. Upon arrival, a PNH team member will greet you and help with your luggage. A short, fifteen-minute drive to our facility offers many opportunities to see bald eagles, moose and the beautiful town of Cordova. Along the way you will also view the breath taking Chugach Mountains that you will soon be skiing or riding.

Our base location in Cordova is 40 miles from Valdez and allows us to provide you with a ‘private’ playground in our backyard. While other 5 operations in Valdez share terrain, we are able to explore areas that the others cannot conveniently access. We continue to find new terrain each year catering from the intermediate level recreation skier to the world-class athlete. If you have heard of heli skiing in Alaska, and are already this deep in your research of operators, it is more than likely we have terrain to suit your desires.

With over 2000 square ski-able miles available out the front door, there is more terrain than one could ski or ride in a lifetime!

As of 2020 – Points North is the proud recipient of the “coveted” new Forest Service permit that accesses the “holy grail” of the Chugach. The possibilities and options just became endless. We have worked closely with the Forest Service to obtain this terrain for over 2 decades, and hope to share it with you!

All-Inclusive Lodging and Meals

Our lodging is all-inclusive. Our facility is not a hotel or motel. It is a beautiful state-of-the-art facility located directly on the water’s edge. All of our aircraft are a few steps away from your room eliminating the drive to the heliport each day. Everything is located here on the property. All of our meals are guaranteed to make your mouth water and our local chef specializes in fine cuisine. Within the lodge, we also offer wireless Internet access, just in case you are thinking of work while on vacation.

You are not paying for vertical. You are paying for high-quality ski runs!

There are no roads or highways that run through the middle of our land. All of our clients fly from our lodge and back to our lodge via helicopter each day. We have multiple fuel caches in the field. You are never on a peak and told to ski to the road for a shuttle bus pick up. An average day of skiing or snowboarding consists of 20-40,000 feet of vertical per day. Most operations sell a vertical package or a 6 run day. At PNH it is very common to obtain 6 runs by lunchtime.

Our package includes 4 heli-hours which is generally equivalent to 2-4 days of flying at around 6-11 runs per day. If in the event you go over your 4 heli-hours, you simply pay as you go. Additional heli-hours will be at a discounted rate of $1,195 per heli-hour. You are a priority to fly.

It’s not uncommon to come home with 12-13 runs if you are visiting us later in the season with extended daylight hours. Heli times are generally longer in this case.

Points North Heli-Adventures is the proud recipient of the new Chugach National Forest Service Special Use Permit for helicopter skiing and riding.

Join us this winter and help us name new runs and explore territory we have been working on obtaining for over a decade!
