TPX Alaska Heli Weeks

A TPX heli skiing week offers a boutique heli skiing experience for small groups (max 8 guests per tour date) in a unique location.

Ability & Terrain

There is something for everyone from intermediates through to uber experts. 

The terrain is breath taking offering big open bowls to steep spines, big long ramps, steep couloirs and powder glacier runs. Almost all runs are above the tree-line.

Key Points:

• Access is really straight forward with just a 45 minute drive from Anchorage airport.
• Stay 7 nights and ski 7 days! Each Ski Week starts on Saturday (check-in at 4pm) and ends after skiing on the following Saturday, a couple of hours before your flight home (so book a late flight home to maximize your on-snow time!).
• Packages include 6 hours of flying time (hobbs) time for each group of 4.
• A typical day would be about 8-12 runs (average 10) subject to group speed & weather. Average runs are 3,000 vertical feet so 30,000 feet per day is average.
• Maximum elevation is about 8,000 feet (so altitude sickness isn't an issue) with landings around 3,000 feet.
• 70% is the average number of fly days.
• TPX uses A-Star B2 & B3 helicopters which are fast & efficient for small group heli skiing. They hold up to 4 guests in the back seat plus guide & pilot in the front.
• Lodging is provided in a beautiful lodge with 3 gourmet meals provided daily. The heli lands right at the lodge so not transit required to the take off point.
• Solo travellers and small groups e.g. couples can also apply for spots however dates may depend on a fit with a larger group with similar abilities to yours.
• Ideally you would be a group of 4 or 8 so you don't have to share the heli with anyone else.
• If there is a down-day due to weather, other activities could include ski touring (byo gear), fat biking, glacier tours, fishing, surfing, Denali tours & more.
