Ski Mountaineering in Alaska's Neacola Mountains

Highlights

Remote, stunning, diverse & magical, are just a few adjectives that describe the Neacola Mountains.

At roughly 150 square miles in size, this small portion of Lake Clark National Park offers some of the finest ski touring and ski mountaineering potential in the entire state of Alaska.

A small airplane equipped with skis will get us onto a glacier in the heart of the range. We'll spend the first 6-days on the glacier operating out of a spacious basecamp. During this time you'll not only learn the skills of winter camping, avalanche and crevasse rescue, efficient glacier travel and route finding techniques, but also the subtle art of ski touring including skinning, kick-turning, transition efficiencies, and pacing.

During the final few days of the trip, you'll tour through some of the most spectacular and remote terrain in Alaska. This 4-day ski tour will allow you to hone the skills you've developed over the last week and introduce you to Alaska expedition travel.
