Valdez

Valdez has the freshest snow on earth. With a long standing reputation for great snows, more than 300 inches is measured annually in the city. In nearby Thompson Pass more than 900 inches have been recorded.

As one might expect with this much snow, Valdez celebrates winter with alpine and cross country skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, dog sledding, and ice climbing. Helicopter and snowcat transportation provide the access for the downhill and back country skiing. The guides on the following list provide package services to create an incredible winter vacation.
