Points North Heli Adventures is the only heli-skiing operation utilizing the southeastern side of the Chugach Mountains. Over the past decade, the Chugach Range has proven to be the premier destination worldwide for helicopter skiing and boarding.

Upon arrival, a PNH team member will greet you and help with your luggage. A short, fifteen-minute drive to our facility offers many opportunities to see bald eagles, moose and the beautiful town of Cordova. Along the way you will also view the breathtaking Chugach Mountains that you will soon be skiing or riding. Our base location in Cordova is 40 miles from Valdez and allows us to provide you with a 'private' playground in our backyard. While the other 5 operations in Valdez share terrain, we are able to explore areas that the others cannot conveniently access. We continue to find new terrain each year catering from the intermediate level recreation skier to the world-class athlete. If you have heard of heli skiing in Alaska, and are already this deep in your research of operators, it is more than likely we have terrain to suit your desires. With over 2000 square ski-able miles available out the front door, there is more terrain than one could ski or ride in a lifetime! Our lodging is all-inclusive. Our facility is not a hotel or motel.

Everything is located here on the property. All of our meals are guaranteed to make your mouth water and our local chef specializes in fine cuisine. Within the lodge we also offer wireless Internet access, just in case you are thinking of work while on vacation. When you visit us be assured your safety is paramount!
