With an emphasis on luxury and custom itineraries, Crown Mountain Heli Guides is nestled in the perfect location to provide incredible heli-skiing that is entirely catered around the guest. Just a 3-minute flight from home base, the Chugach Range features deep snowpack with blower powder thanks to its proximity to the ocean. If the conditions aren't just right in the Chugach, Crown Mountain can take advantage of four different mountain ranges in the surrounding area to ensure there is always fresh powder and technical descents to be had.
Back at home base, there are many nights when the northern lights paint the sky while guests relax in the sauna and hot tub. After the nightly family-style meals in the main lodge, guests can grab a drink at the fully stocked bar. Then it's off to sleep before the mayhem starts all over the next day.
