ALASKA SKI & SNOWBOARD MOUNTAINEERING

Kenai Backcountry Adventures offers ski and snowboard mountaineering trips in a few different locations such as the Kenai Mountains, and the Alaska Range. Our trips range from 2 to 7 days and we spend the days moving through the mountains and across massive glaciers, plunging ourselves into a world of jagged peaks and brilliant blue icefalls.

Your trip includes spectacular ski plane flights to access remote zones in the mountains. After we establish a camp we will begin to learn crampon, ice axe, and rope team skills. Training in avalanche awareness, anchor techniques, belaying, crevasse rescue, navigation, and hazard/risk assessment are covered as you gain experience. Conditions permitting we will then put your new skills to use climbing and skiing some spectacular Alaskan mountains.

The two-day ski & snowboard mountaineering trip gives participants a fun, instructional, introduction to climbing in the mountains while the longer courses allow for the practical application of your new skills. Our philosophy is one of learning by doing. Small groups and a low participant to guide ratio give us the flexibility to accommodate individual goals and expectations. No previous mountaineering experience is necessary, but you must be able to ski/snowboard advanced intermediate ski runs without falling.
