Splitboarding in the Alaska Range: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

The Alaska Range is a dream for winter sports enthusiasts, one which we encourage making true. This stunning mountain chain in North America boasts a stretch of 650 km of snow-capped peaks and glaciers. Among the most popular are Denali (6,190.5 m/20,310 ft); Mount Foraker (5,304 m/17,400 ft); Mount Hunter (4,442 m/14,573 ft); Mount Hayes (4,216 m/13,832 ft) and Mount Huntington (3,730 m/12,240 ft), all well worth a splitboarding ride. The steep rugged terrain and untouched snow of these remote mountains account for the Alaska Range’s popularity among seasoned skiers, snowboarders, and splitboarders.  Furthermore, the breathtaking views, wilderness, and northern lights make this an appealing destination on all fronts. Of course, having adequate skills and training is a must in order to tackle these peaks safely, and going with a certified guide is paramount too, to point the way and help handle logistics.
