Nestled in the heart of the Alaska Range on a rocky outcropping between two glaciers, the Mountain House sits in a breathtaking location. Built by legendary bush pilot Don Sheldon in 1966, the Mountain House is a hexagonal structure with large windows, a central woodstove, and benches for sleeping. It provides a level of comfort that is unmatched in the Alaska Range and it can only be accessed by ski plane. The surrounding Ruth Gorge and Don Sheldon Amphitheater offer beautiful ski touring terrain for a wide range of abilities and experience levels. There is everything from relaxed moderate touring on the glaciers to big, wild Alaskan lines. You'll spend six days living beneath legendary mountains such Denali (20,320', tallest mountain in North America), Mt Huntington, and The Mooses Tooth, which in and of itself makes this an unforgettable trip.

Alaska First Descents With the number of skiers and snowboarders venturing into the backcountry on the rise, first descents are increasingly rare. Join us on this trip of a lifetime, as we explore the unexplored on a quest to ski in places that have never before seen tracks. With the Eastern Chugach Mountains as our canvas, we’ll attempt to paint new lines big and small in a region that can only be accessed by ski plane. Long ridgelines, open bowls, big faces, rolling glaciers, and snake-like couloirs characterize this landscape of beautiful skiing terrain. Very few of these peaks have been skied, and many of them have never been climbed. We’ll fly in to the Bagley Icefield with plenty of food, fuel, and equipment and set up a base camp. From here we’ll be able to make day and multiday outings; selecting terrain to match individual desires as we make rewarding Alaskan ski descents, one after another. Trip Highlights:
