Dean Cummings H2O Heli Guides offers the most exciting helicopter access big-mountain skiing and snowboarding in the world! Located in Valdez, Alaska, their exclusive permits through the BLM and the US Forest Service open the door to over 1.6 million acres of the snow-soaked Chugach range; this is the most permitted terrain of any operator in the world! With the 2008 season marking their 13th year of business, this family-owned company is the longest running heli ski business under continuous ownership in Valdez and the only company based in Valdez year round. Small groups are the norm with a 5 to 1 guest/guide ratio, and while guests “access they goods” they’ll also feel like part of the team; building skills, learning snow safety, and practicing terrain management. H2O offers fully inclusive, non-inclusive, and private charter heli-skiing packages.
