Alaska Heli season!

Here in Valdez gearing up for another great Heli season! The city of Valdez has about 4000 residents and there is amazing riding and skiing just out of town, I arrived a few weeks ago to get some touring in but unfortunately the snow pack was a bit less than stable so we were hitting the "Road Runs" a great way to get some runs right out of town, and there's no hiking involved because you start at the top of a switch back on the highway and get picked up at the bottom. The Road run can be pretty gnarly at times and are quite fun, quite a few different routes to choose from and makes for good times on down days.

We went Cat skiing with Black Ops Valdez yesterday, and it honestly couldn't have been better. we got five runs in and never crossed the same tracks twice off of a peak called Sugar Loaf and by the end we were beat. The snow was a bit heavy but still Amazing, and the BBQ at Robe lake Lodge was perfect and the hot tub after.

Hopefully if the weather breaks we will be jumping in the Heli tomorrow!! I have been up with Black Ops Valdez the last two years, and I have to say it's one of the best I have flown with and I highly recommend them plus their prices are the best I have found here. The photo below is from one of our LZ's last year! Such a rad day and I hope we get to repeat some of the same lines.



Soon to come as well starting March 28th is the start of Tailgate Alaska and people come from around the world to enjoy 2 weeks of back country madness! Some say it's like burning man with helicopters but that's a goofy analogy. World class riding and world class people and friends make for great time up here. There's also a speed flying and kite festival and a extreme snowmobiling exhibition going on at the same time. It's a pretty rad 2 months ahead!

Come out and shred AK with us!!!
