ADVENTURES IN BC & AK

The Big Picture

The primary objective of the trip is to put skis to snow on the slopes above the fjords of British Columbia and Alaska - in destinations only accessible by boat - but the journey is so much more.

Setting sail and wending our way through beautiful, remote waters, full of wildlife and vast expanse is an unforgettable experience.

We’ll point the boat into the fjords and then it’s up up up, with skis on our backs, through some of the most stunning, wild terrain you’ll ever experience. When we reach snow you will have earned it.

Then it’s skins on until we find the best spot to grip, rip and ride!


Weather and conditions dependent, each journey will vary, but every one will be an adventure!

The Ship

(British Columbia Trips Only)

The good ship TRUE comes from the design desk of world-renowned naval architect, John G. Alden, who designed over 1000 boats, including the majestic schooners of the 1930s and 40s. His work, without question, represents great American boat design, and our 44-foot Pearson Countess Ketch, TRUE, is no exception.

She is a sturdy, ocean-going vessel, masterfully designed for moving through calm and rough seas alike, with grace and ease, carrying you safely and comfortably on your journey.

While accommodations are shared and simple, you’ll find everything you need from pressure hot and cold water and refrigeration to charging for electronics and a wood-fired stove for those chilly evenings and mornings.

 

A Note About the Weather

We can make our plans, but we can not control the weather

Weather and snow conditions can be unpredictable and fast-changing. Our crew are trained and experienced professionals in their fields, and will always make safety priority number one. With this in mind, plans must always remain flexible - and while we build contingencies, extra time, and alternate options into our planning, there is never a guarantee of skiing, or reaching any particular destination. Keeping a willing mind, and a positive disposition towards changing plans will ensure a successful trip for everyone involved. We can’t control the weather, but we can guarantee an adventure!
