Points North Heli-Adventures, Cordova

Points North Heli is the ultimate camp for wannabe ski bums like me. They have about one member of the team for every guest. They treat you like a peer even though all of them are better skiers than most of guests ever will be. I can't say enough about the team here. They are really awesome people. The food is outstanding. There is plenty to eat in between meals as well. No need to buy food. You have the opportunity to sign up for a massage with a couple of masseuses on staff. Haven't done it yet, but I've heard good things. There is a really neat sauna that's wood fired. No hot tub. Hit the sauna then jump in the ocean and go back in the sauna. Trust me it's awesome. You stay at the Orca Adventure Lodge. It's not the Ritz, but that's not why you're here. I don't like the Ritz personally. Too stuffy. This place is exactly what you need after a long day of skiing. It's really easy to walk from where the helicopters take off to the dining hall and then to the hotel room. You see incredible wildlife right out your window including otters and bald eagles. Should you need to get to town or have a down day, someone is always happy to give you a lift. It's more of a hitch a ride kind of operation versus some scheduled shuttle bus. But again you're here to get away from scheduled shuttle buses. So if you like scheduled shuttle busses, don't come here. The Wi-Fi was good enough so I could work right here and never leave. If you are an advanced skier or snowboarder, put this on your bucket list.

This place is magical. The guides and staff are everything you hope for in an operation of this sort. The zones and terrain are other-worldly. Can't recommend them enough.
