THE CHUGACH, KENAI, AND TALKEETNA MTNS

The Chugach Range has a reputation for iconic big lines, and it’s well deserved. CPG offers some of the absolute best and most accessible steep powder skiing and snowboarding in the world.

Out here, every day in the mountains feels like one-in-a-million. In order to ski big Alaska lines, the weather, snowpack stability, and your skiing or riding ability all have to align. Our first objective is to ensure that your backcountry heli skiing experience is as safe as possible. We work with you to ensure that you’re comfortable and ready to tackle Chugach’s terrain before we step it up.

HELICOPTERS

THE A-STAR B3

CPG is committed to providing the best ski and snowboard experiences in the world, which is why we fly our guests and guides exclusively in the state-of-the-art, Eurocopter AS350: the A-Star B3.

The A-Star helicopter used for heli skiing in Alaska.
HISTORY

SINCE 1997

As one of the original heli ski operators in Alaska, CPG draws on 25 years of experience delivering guests the best ski days of their lives. We’ve expanded from a single helicopter outfit in the iconic ski zones near Girdwood, to a full service operation offering endless terrain from the Talkeetna Mountains to Seward. We’re proud of the trips and terrain options we’ve refined over the years, and we look forward to welcoming you to the CPG family.
