Points North are one of the many heli operators based in Alaska, although they are the only ones based in the town of Cordova. Situated on the coast between Valdez and Haines, they run a heli assisted touring program with a difference – guests stay in a permanent backcountry camp set up within their tenure in the famous Chugach Mountains. This is heli assisted touring for the adventurous, although the camp does look pretty plush with big Arctic Oven tents and a wood burning stove to keep things comfortable. It goes without saying that the splitboarding on offer around camp is mind blowing with insane amounts of snow and kickass terrain.
