Four mountain ranges converge here. 13 million acres of virgin powder. But you can’t heli ski here. So why is everyone talking about skiing the Wrangell/St. Elias?
My friend, you have just discovered plane-assisted back country skiing.
Lodge-based fly and backcountry ski adventures give you the best of all worlds: Days in the Alaskan wilderness with boundless untracked powder lines, followed by nights in the luxury of a private, full service lodge with hearty meals and maximum rejuvenation in our cedar-fired hot tub.

" In this 13-million acre stretch ...Paul Claus can spend 1,000 hours a year flying and skiing ... and never cover the same space twice.”
– Powder Magazine, The Skier's Magazine
Together with Pacific Alpine Guides we have created a plane assisted ski touring adventure that's way beyond the beaten heli path.
Leave tracks inside the largest National Park in N. America. Tour directly from the lodge or fly-out to neighboring peaks for maximum adventure.
And at the end of a day you'll relish our cozy, hand crafted wilderness lodge, where your creature comforts will be replenished in the warmth of the sauna and hottub or while you share stories over a gourmet Alaskan meal.
Each morning, renewed, you'll find a new stash is out there waiting.
