Don Sheldon Mountain House, Alaska

Every spring in early May we start off our season with a trip to the Don Sheldon Mountain House. In the heart of the Alaska Range, with views of Denali, Mt. Hunter, Mt. Barille, Mt. Dickey, the Moose’s Tooth, the Rooster Comb, and much more, this is a spectacular place to spend a week! The ski touring, ski mountaineering and technical cl

imbing in this area are all phenomenal, and best of all, you get to base it all out of the luxury of the Mountain House, a small hut balance on a little rock ridge in the middle of it all!

A fabulous client of ours, Wayne, created this video of his ski touring trip there in 2008. Check it out! You will notice that the skiers on this particular trip were relative beginners, and the trip is suitable for those with only basic skills, but there is also endless adventure to be had for those with honed skills in either skiing and climbing or both. The Don Sheldon Amphitheater and Ruth Gorge have something for everyone!

We extended the length of the Mountain House trip this year to 5 nights, 6 days to give just a little more time in this paradise. The trip begins on May 3rd with a pick-up in Anchorage, and returns the evening of the 8th. The cost is $2,550 per person. For more information, visit our website! Now’s the time to start booking your spring and summer adventures.

See you in Alaska!
