Luxury Heliskiing in Alaska!

As Alaska’s premier and longest-operating heli-skiing lodge, Tordrillo Mountain Lodge delivers world-class heli-skiing and heli-snowboarding packages for an unmatched winter adventure.

Located just a 40-minute flight from Anchorage, Tordrillo Mountain Lodge is nestled in the Alaskan backcountry, 60 miles northwest of the city. Whether you’re carving fresh tracks on a remote mountain or enjoying a quiet moment on the deck, the trip of a lifetime starts here!

Mountains & Terrains

Surrounded by over 1.2 million acres of Alaskan skiing terrain and with 600 inches of light snow each winter season, the Tordrillo Mountains offer some of the most exciting helicopter skiing and snowboarding terrain in the world!

High-pressure systems typical of this region generally bring dry weather, clear skies, sunshine, and stable snow conditions. With average temperatures ranging from 15º to 25º F, powder enthusiasts can enjoy runs that start as high as 7,500 feet and descend to 2,000 feet, with panoramic views of Denali and volcanic summits. If poor weather sets in, you will shift to gentler terrain where the snowpack is less prone to avalanches.

Whether you’re an intermediate skier or a world-class carver, we customize your experience, selecting the best runs to match your skill level.

The Package

When you choose Tordrillo heli-skiing and snowboarding packages, you’re opting for an award-winning adventure. The winter packages at Tordrillo run from mid-February through late April. Each package includes transportation from Anchorage International Airport to Hotel Captain Cook, 1 night’s stay in a double occupancy room at Hotel Captain Cook, round-trip flights between Anchorage and Tordrillo Mountain Lodge, 7 nights of lodging, 7 days of heli adventures, safety equipment and ski/snowboard demos, gourmet meals, and 5 Hobbs hours per group of 4 clients.

The seasoned Alaska heli-skiing guides at Tordrillo Mountain Lodge are among the most experienced professionals in the world. Each of the guides has at least 15 years of experience with hundreds of Alaska heli-skiing runs in the Tordrillo Mountains. They have a keen awareness of the constantly changing environment and how to mitigate potential hazards, as well as top-of-the-line avalanche rescue gear.

Lodging

Tordrillo Mountain Lodge redefines luxury and comfort in the Alaskan wilderness with unparalleled accommodations. The 6-bedroom Main Lodge is a 5,600-square-foot log structure, featuring expansive windows and 3 large cedar decks offering breathtaking views of Judd Lake and the Alaska Range. For those seeking lakeside seclusion, the luxury one-bedroom cabins next to the Main Lodge offer a private retreat. Judd Lake Lodge, with its sleek, modern architecture, is a private lodge that accommodates eight guests across 4 large bedrooms, each with a private bath.

Dining at Tordrillo Mountain Lodge is an adventure in itself, featuring gourmet dishes crafted from seasonal and local ingredients. The lodge also prides itself on its selection of handcrafted beers, signature cocktails, and a sophisticated wine collection.

Aircrafts

Safety is the top priority at Tordrillo, especially when it comes to the fleet of aircraft. At the core of the operation is the Eurocopter AS 350-B3, commonly known as the A-Star. This powerful, fast, and agile helicopter is essential for safely transporting skiers and snowboarders to explore the surrounding mountains and valleys.

For travel between Anchorage and Tordrillo Mountain Lodge, the operator relies on DeHavilland Beavers, that ensure safe and efficient transportation to the lodge and across various ski zones. Additionally, the Piper Super Cub, renowned for its short takeoff and landing capabilities, is available for remote scouting, pioneering airstrips near untouched powder stashes, and reaching fuel depots.

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldives’ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
