The 10 Best Ski & Snow Tours in Alaska, United States

May 21, 2022 Veronika Gaddis

Alaska is divided into five regions: far north, interior, southwest, south central, and inside passage. Although it takes a long time to see the entire state, you can travel through the regions by boat, car, bus, or plane. Hike through the mountains, or venture out on a deep sea fishing or whale watching excursion. Get in touch with nature by camping in the wilderness, or experience your preferred degree of class and luxury in the beautiful, active cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks.

Reviewed By TCoop77

I went with a group of couples to ski the Chugach with CPG. Had heard that weather could be a problem in Alaska, but we had great weather. The night we arrived we had 14inches of powder and then 3 bluebird days and one cloudy day in the trees the last day. I can not describe how good the skiing was. I’ve skied all over the world and this was the best. Big mountains, incredible snow quality, fantastic guides and pilots, and the most spectacular views in the US. First day was in the cat and then 3 days in the helicopter. My group skied pretty aggressive lines, while my wife’s group was a little more mellow. Really, any descent skier can ski there and should. I’d go back in a heartbeat. Love Alaska, can’t say enough.
