Premium Heli-ski Packages in Alaska this Winter
For five weeks starting in March 2018, skiers and snowboarders will find the best of Tordrillo Mountain Lodge’s legendary heli-ski adventures at Winterlake Lodge, known for its first-class accommodations, customized service and gourmet dining.
Located 30 miles apart in the Tordrillo Mountains, the two remote fly-in lodges are combining efforts to offer skiers and snowboarders seven-night packages that access the northern region of the Alaska Range. This massive range is one of the most pristine areas for heli-skiing in the world.
Founded and owned by long-time Alaska heli-ski operator Mike Overcast and Olympic gold medal skier Tommy Moe, Tordrillo Mountain Lodge operates with a highly skilled team of heli-ski guides that expertly shepherd guests through 1.5 million acres of untouched wilderness. Partnering with Winterlake Lodge allows those experienced guides to offer unrivaled access to the unspoiled and untracked peaks to more guests.
Far removed from the roads and trails of competitive operators, this is wilderness exploration with modern convenience and luxury. Limited to only eight guests per week, ski packages include 10 hours of A-star helicopter use (Hobbs time), two Tordrillo Mountain Lodge guides, private cabins at Winterlake Lodge, all meals from the kitchen of award-winning chef Kirsten Dixon and air transfers from Anchorage. When not out skiing, guests can take advantage of the hot tub and sauna, yoga classes, massage treatments and a fully stocked bar at the lodge. Packages also include alternative activities, such as cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and dog mushing. The rate is $13,500 per person. Full details available at

First resort to offer heli-biking in the U.S. - Tordrillo Mountain Lodge in Alaska
Tordrillo Mountain Lodge owners - Olympic Gold Medalist Tommy Moe and fellow heli ski veterans Mike Overcast & Mike Rheam - invested in the country’s first Aero Quick Design Release helicopter bike rack, a state-of-the-art piece of equipment that can transport bikes without the burden of disassembling them for flight. With the new rack, four bikers and their bikes, as well as an experienced guide, are flown deep into the Tordrillo mountain range from the Lodge’s helicopter pad and are ready to hit the pristine Alaskan trails in just minutes. Biking is available for riders of all levels.
When you visit Tordrillo Mountain Lodge, a float plane takes you from Anchorage for a 40-minute flight to Judd Lake. Once there, you are treated to amazing helicopter adventures with the best guides in the business, while staying in luxurious lodges that only sleep 8-12 people each and feature private chefs, sauna, hot tub, and massage services. Heli-biking season runs July 5-Sept 15 and reservations are available now. Packages include round trip flight between Lake Hood - Judd Lake via float plane, lodging, meals, professional guide services, and all recreational equipment & gear.
