Every year we continue to add to our selection of personalized packages by exploring the state in search of another good story just waiting to be told. Come join us.
Whatever your interests are, Chugach Adventure Guides will show you the Alaska most people never see. Heli-skiing, snowboarding, rafting, fishing, snowcat treks, and premier lodging—Chugach Adventure Guides designs trips that are diverse, accommodating and always put your safety first.
Chugach Adventure Guides (CAG) helicopter operation was founded as Chugach Powder Guides (CPG) in 1997. Alaska was just becoming known on the world scene as a recognized destination for backcountry ski terrain. While the media grabbed onto the hard adventure hype surrounding events like the World Extreme Skiing Championships, we knew the Chugach Range wasn’t just for adrenaline junkies. Since then, CPG helicopters have opened up the finest backcountry skiing and boarding in the world, flying guests to adventures that are suitable for all skill levels. We have cataloged over 500 runs and thousands of landings between the pioneering of the Tordrillos and the Chugach. Today, this indescribable terrain and our stellar reputation bring ski and snowboard enthusiasts from around the world to experience mountain adventures that are exclusive to Alaska.
Our terrain and reputation have bought the finest backcountry guides in North America to our door. Being skiers first and foremost, CPG understands that if our clients come all the way to Alaska, it is imperative that they ski or ride no matter what. With this in mind, we developed our snowcat skiing terrain for no-fly days and have fostered a cooperative relationship with Alyeska Resort to assure that you ski or board no matter what, without compromising our safety standards.
