Cat skiing photos from Henry Munter
The CPG snowcat makes it's way to the goods.
It’s definitely “one of those years” here in Alaska. As February approaches and the heli season gets closer (we start in AK on February 11). We’ve been having the best early season we can recall. The snow has been deep, dry and plentiful. The snowcat skiing has been “all time”. As always, our first week of the heli season is discounted. Right now, we’re holding the goods. It’s time to make a February powder plan and get up to AK. We are still able to offer 20% off on Alaska Airlines for those who book their travel before January 31.
Check out these great photos of recent snowcat skiing from guide, Henry Munter.

It’s stacking up in Alaska – Can you feel it?
Melanee opens a gift from Ullr.
Ullr has been blessing AK with plenty of early season goodness. With over 120 inches since October 1, the Chugach is starting to look fat and Alyeska Resort is getting ready to open (Nov. 23).
Our Office Manager, Melanee Stiassny recently went ski touring in our snowcat area, confirming that things are looking really, really good! Check out these photos (pics by Thomas Bailey) from her tour. Let’s hear it for deep pow!

Kings and Corn 2011 is drawing to a close and it’s been one for the books. While we were concerned that the low winter snowfall might affect the Kings and Corn adventure this summer, we found that there was plenty of good, creamy corn to be had for all. The run of King Salmon has been steady and we’ve had good success in getting guests into the big fish. As always, our exploration of this vast region has continued and we’ve gone deep into the Alaska Range for an unforgettable good time. Check out some of the photos from the 2011 Kings and Corn adventure.

North Star and Banana Hammock
With tons of sunshine and incredible stability, we’ve had lots of opportunity lately to hit some of the more coveted lines in the Girdwood area. Check out this great video from client Collin Tilbe of our escapades on North Star and Banana Hammock couloirs.

I don’t see any disability here….
This week we’ve had the great pleasure of heli sking with Sandra Dukat and Alison Pearl. With Sandra on a mono ski and Alison in a sit ski, we were astounded and humbled to see the way these ladies OWNED our heli terrain. Just when you’re starting to feel pretty good about yourself, you meet someone who shows you that maybe you’re not as cool as you think you are. Thanks for joining us! Check out the GoPro Hero footage from Alison’s camera.

Kicking off the AK season the right way.
Not bad for Day 1.
This week our Alaskan operation, Chugach Powder Guides started their 15th year of operation. We started with a full load of guests from Switzerland, Austria, Germany and the US. This week we flew 5 out of 7 days with cold temps, sunny skies and unbelievable powder. This is just the we like to see things start.
Being Valentines week, it seems that love was in the air as we had two heli ski marriage proposals and an actual wedding for two of our German guests in the CPG cat area. CONGRATULATIONS to Alex And Gabi. The ceremony was performed by CPG General Manager Chris Owens under a full moon and a perfect blanket of stars with the CPG crew there to witness and celebrate the event. With a bonfire and crystal clear views of the Girdwood valley, it was really a night to remember.
We are currently getting a fresh coat of paint and have fresh refills every run in the snowcat area. The birds are here, the crew is primed and week 1 is a thing of history. Check out the photos from this week below. There are still a few seats left scattered here and there through the season, so come up to Alaska and get your fix!
