NEW!
For 2009, we've added an earlier "Rainbows and Corn" trip.
Join us in the first week of June for World Class rainbow trout heli-fishing
and fantastic corn snow skiing in the Tordrillo Mountains!
KINGS
& CORN ADVENTURE TRIP Come
experience five days of non-stop action and adventure in the heart of the
Alaskan wilderness with Chugach Powder Guides. Our Kings and Corn summer
action-adventure trip features King Salmon fishing, corn-snow heli-skiing,
and whitewater rafting. Lodging, as well as authentic, gourmet Alaskan
meals by our gourmet chef are provided by Tordrillo Mountain Lodge located
in the heart of the Alaska Range. All our activities are heli-supported,
enabling access to the best the Alaskan bush has to offer. Chugach Powder
Guides requires guests to arrive in Anchorage the night prior to trip start
date. You will be greeted at Anchorage International and chauffeured in
Anchorage for any gear and last-minute needs. That evening's accommodations
and activities are on your own. The next morning starts early. We will
transport you to Lake Hood for the floatplane ride to Tordrillo
Mountain Lodge where the adventure begins.

CORN
SNOW HELI SKIING Our
guests heli-ski the Tordrillo Mountains of the Alaska Range. Astounding
views of these mountains are present in all directions from the lodge.
Ski days typically begin in the morning and end by mid-afternoon. When
conditions are right we may launch the helicopter for the opportunity to
ski in the Alaskan midnight sun, topping off the day. The snow pack is
generally well consolidated snow with minimal avalanche hazard, but due
to the remoteness of the skiing locations, caution is exercised at all
times. Each run consists of velvety corn snow with an average vertical
of approximately 3,000 feet (914 m).
KING
SALMON FISHING We
fish the famous King Salmon returns of the Yentna and Skwentna Rivers.
The helicopter shuttles guests into remote stretches of these rivers where
we fish the banks or inflate rafts to float and fish our way to a designated
pick-up area. The King Salmon returns on these rivers are consistent year
after year. The average size of these fish is 30 lb (14 kg) but a 50 lb
(23 kg) catch is not unusual. Although fishing skills are helpful, prior
experience is not critical. Our guides are there to assist you with fishing
techniques, if needed. A complete list of fishing equipment and recommended
tackle is supplied to all guests.
WHITEWATER
RAFTING If
you are ready for a change from skiing and fishing, we can raft the Happy
River, one of the most beautiful rivers in the state. The Happy River offers
clear water, alpine tundra, and wildlife viewing with approximately 20
miles (32 km) of Class III whitewater. All river gear, including dry suits,
Personal Floatation Devices, and helmets are provided.
LODGING Chugach
Adventure Guides is proud to offer lodging at The Tordrillo Mountain Lodge
(TML). This new log structure is on the banks of the Talachulitna River
and Judd lake. Guests will enjoy all the comforts of a first class
Alaska lodge, including private baths, cozy beds and Alaska cuisine prepared
by a resident chef. Satellite wireless access, a full bar and table
games are available for evening entertainment, and cross country skiing
and snow machines provide adventure on down days. The 40-minute trip from
Anchorage is onboard a float plane.
