##### Find your way to “The Last Frontier” and set aside the better part of a week for a ski touring trip through the wilderness of Alaska! Spend five days at Thompson Pass near Valdez and explore the unimaginable landscape by skiing across its vast beauty!

The nature of Alaska is profound and immense. Not only is it the largest state within the United States, it has a daunting wilderness with a brutal landscape to match. For winter athletes of every denomination, Thompson Pass and the surrounding Chugach Mountains offer some of the most challenging big mountain skiing opportunities in a unique and remote setting. It is unlike any other place in the world, therefore the rewards more than justify the means.

Your program is the best way to immerse yourself in the amazing terrain of Alaska, known as “The Last Frontier.” Over the course of five days, you will ski your way through the backcountry of Alaska and discover a serene landscape that few will ever get the opportunity to see – let alone ski. If you are in search of big mountain skiing, then you have found the bastion of true ski touring here in the Chugach.

Originally pioneered by Doug Coombs in the mid-90s, this area is renowned for its skiing conditions for every type of skiing, including heliskiing, backcountry skiing, and even kite skiing. Incredibly enough, Thompson Pass is relatively easy to access, and the amalgamation of immaculate snow quality with mountain and glacier terrain makes this program a true once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Your program is all-inclusive, and even includes a heli-drop during the trip. We have more than enough time to tour the rare and pristine snow of Alaska while taking in some of the other perks of a wilderness excursion. Keep your eyes peeled for moose, eagles, and even the Northern Lights! Lodging, meals, and the technical gear are included, which means you just need to show up ready to ski tour.

For those interested in perhaps taking advantage of just a few days in the Chugach, I can craft a special guided program just for you. Let me know what your logistics and what you are interested in so we can work out the specifics of a private day tour.

This area is one of my favorite places in the world to ski. It would be my duty to share this incredible location with you and instill the same passion and care that I have for its huge mountains and incomparable runs. I will ensure you have a safe and satisfying Alaskan experience. Our program is one that you will never forget.

This program is perfect for intermediate advanced skiers and necessitates advanced proficiency in skiing. This includes a high level of fitness. You will be hiking and skiing 3,500 vertical feet a day with a possibility of more, so high endurance and mental fortitude are required.

**Book this five-day ski touring extravaganza NOW and make Thompson Pass and the Alaskan wilderness YOUR favorite place to ski, too!**

Five Days of Ski Touring at Thompson Pass, Alaska

**In southern Alaska, we find a special town at the Chugach Mountains. It is Valdez, a gem for ski lovers. Each spring the town receives skiers from all around the world, eager to leave their mark on the first-class powder. Join me for a week ski mountaineering in this fantastic location.** 

We will stay in Valdez and travel to Thompson pass each day to enjoy full ski days. The terrain and itinerary options are varied, so every day will be different. There are 1200 meters long runs from the imposing summits. It is also possible to do long backcountry linkups. Heli touring is another option, and we can even camp to explore further for several days.

We will travel mainly on glaciers, but the terrain is not too technical so you don’t need prior glacier experience. However, you do need to be in good physical shape and have backcountry ski experience. Although we will review avalanche rescue procedures at the beginning of the program, you need to have proper training.

Spring is the best period for this adventure, but it is also possible to go there during the winter.

**Looking forward to this adventure in Alaska? Send me a request and let’s explore the best slopes near Valdez! I will be waiting for your message.** There is also a great option to [practice ski mountaineering in the Coast Mountains of Alaska, check it out](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/alaska-7-day-guided-backcountry-ski-tour/)!
