For all of you powderhounds who dread the end of winter, head north to Alaska. Ski mountaineering and ski touring Alaska is an unforgettable way to ease your transition into summer. Backcountry skiing in the Wrangell St. Elias and Chugach Mountains is a truly amazing wilderness experience. We offer Alaska ski mountaineering trips and backcountry ski tours throughout the spring and summer seasons. The annual snowfall in the Chugach Mountains is between 30 and 80 feet per year, and we have quality corn snow through August. The terrain… well, it’s everything you would expect: majestic, awe-inspiring lines that seemingly go on forever, with an incredible variety from long 20 degree tours to the extreme skiing that Alaska is famous for. Our ski trips are all custom and therefore tailored to your goals, so please contact us at info@steliasguides.com for a quote and suggested itinerary. |

We would hardly call it roughing it. Each day will feature
a ski tour, or possibly some world-class Alaska ski mountaineering, returning to the Mountain House for a well earned
rest. Participants should

This unique adventure begins with a breathtaking, one- hour flight through the Wrangell St. Elias and Chugach Mountains from McCarthy to the Bagley Icefield. The Bagley Icefield is one of the largest icefields outside of the Polar Regions, and offers an incredible training area for learning the fast growing sport of traction kiting. Although the ski mountaineering and ski touring options are endless, for this adventure, we keep our sights set on the lower mountains along the perimeter of the Icefield. As the sound of the plane fades you'll re-discover what it means to truly be in the wilderness!

The majestic Bagley Icefield is home to many mountains which are unclimbed, unskied, and unbelievably skier friendly. After learning and grasping the fundamentals of kite skiing, we will use our kites to cover long distances with relative ease and speed. This unique mode of travel puts a new spin on ski touring Alaska.! The Bagley Icefield becomes our super-highway to the mountains. If you have never flown a kite or are a trend setting veteran, we are happy to cater to all ability levels. This is a kite skiing paradise yet to be explored! Kite
