Heli-Boarding Haines, Alaska

In March this year, I was fortunate enough to be part of a crew of five Aussie shredders who spent a few weeks Heli-boarding in Haines, Alaska. It took a fair bit of commitment (getting there, waiting for the weather, spending most of our savings), but heli-boarding in AK really does live up to the hype. We scored 7 days, and it was unanimously agreed by the crew that at least a few of these were the best days of snowboarding we’ve ever had - and may well have been the best days of our entire lives. We scored endless faceshots, big ol steep faces, 1000m vertical couloirs, spines, and a whole heap of powdery features to send it off. Plus riding around in a helicopter is downright awesome!

We put together this little edit from the trip. Enjoy smile

Thanks for the stoke guys! If you can find the time and cash, I would totally recommend it! Happy to share any insights if anyone is planning a trip. Before the trip, I thought it was going to be a ‘once in a lifetime’ kind of thing - now I’m trying to figure out how soon I can get back there…
