Happy Ski Season!
The 2010 ski season is upon us & we are gearing up
for helicopter operations to begin in February. We have
many great options depending on your time & budget.
Juneau is a short 1 hour 50 minute direct flight from
Seattle on Alaska Airlines. Skiers & boarders who are
limited on time can take advantage of our full & half day
trips.
New for this year we are offering all inclusive packages
at the Adlersheim Wilderness Lodge. Choose from
weeklong, weekend, & custom trips.

Waterfront Lodge
|
|
The Adlersheim Wilderness Lodge is a 9-acre waterfront property with private beaches, docks, cabins, boat launch, & FAA approved helicopter landing pads.
Choose an all inclusive luxury room with private jacuzzi
or a rustic bunkhouse style cabin. Enjoy great meals
prepared by cooks that specialize in Alaskan cuisine. We
offer daily van transports to Eaglecrest Ski Area & the
downtown scene.
The beautiful waterfront lodge is minutes by helicopter
from our ski terrain in the Chilkat & Coast Mountains. Try
fishing for king salmon and dolly varden while watching
for marine wildlife during March, April, & May.

Juneau Heliskiing

We have a 1 million acre Forest Service permit & offer half day, full day, weekend, & weeklong trip options.
We ski & snowboard in the Chilkat & Coast Mountains.
The two ranges are separated by Lynn Canal and
have distinct types of terrain. The Chilkats are world
famous for their deep cut river valleys and wide open
meadows. The Cost Mountains border the Juneau
Icefield & are heavily glaciated. Expect incredible
views & backdrops of chutes, trees, glaciers, spines,
flutes, ice falls, rock formations, all
surrounded by the Inside Passage waterways.

Eaglecrest Ski Area

Juneau's ski area has steep trees & chutes with incredible sidecountry to access.
The new Black Bear Chair was installed this year and
offers access into terrain on the east side. Side &
backcountry out of bounds options are accessed via
short traverses across the ridge. Enjoy views of
mountains, glaciers, & waterways.
We offer daily van shuttles from our lodge to the ski area
with a two hour stop in town for drinks on the return trip.
Our package guests receive complimentary full day
passes good for all lifts.
