To whom it may concern:
Please accept my hearty recommendation to give Chugach Powder Guides a try. As a life long skier who has heli-skied all over the world, I'm happy to say that after all of my searching, I think I've found the place I want to return to, over and over again. I first went to Girdwood 5 years ago. After having skied in Canada, Europe, New Zealand, various US locations and other places, I wanted to give Alaska a try. CPG was recommended to me by one of the larger Canadian heli operators I had been visiting for a number of years. I was looking for an outfit that had fantastic skiing, a fun comfortable atmosphere and above all, a great safety record. I had heard some stories about a slew of upstart "extreme" Alaskan operations bent on going as close to the edge as possible. This wasn't what I was looking for, and I happily discovered that CPG was every bit as professional and disciplined (if not more) as any operation I have ever seen. That first trip and every trip since, I've had my eyes opened to what I consider to be the finest ski terrain in the world in the company of excellent guides and service professionals. My accommodations have always been second to none and the CPG staff has always been attentive to my every need. I think that one of the best parts of skiing with CPG is the fact that I know I am going to ski. On down (no-fly) days, I have done some of the best powder skiing of my life in their snowcat area. We have skied this area on storm days with fluffy, waist deep powder accumulating by the minute. On trips with other operations, I have spent ten days in a small room watching static on the TV and staring at the carpet praying for the weather to clear. Not so with CPG. I've had days with CPG where I've skied back country powder on a storm day, returned for an excellent meal at the Hotel, night skied the resort and nailed out 25,000 vertical feet via helicopter the next day. When I go to ski with CPG, I ski like a mad man, live like a king, have a fantastic social experience and go home tired and happy with nothing to desire but my return trip next year. Give CPG a try. You won't regret it.
