We built Third Edge where we did for a reason. From our base in Southcentral Alaska, we can move with the weather, the snow, and the stability instead of waiting for conditions to come to us.
Alaska weather is local. One range can be shut down while another is bluebird. Snow quality can change with elevation, aspect, wind, and distance. Our centralized location gives us the ability to easily move when conditions change.
We go where the skiing is best.
The advantage is not simply having more terrain. It is having more choices when conditions change.
Different weather. Different snow. Different terrain. Different stability.
Third Edge has the flexibility to move with the weather and find the best conditions. The results: a 90% fly rate and more time doing what you came for- skiing incredible terrain.
No rotations. No waiting for another group. The day follows the conditions, not a schedule.
If visibility opens in another range, we can move. If the skiing is good where we are, we can stay. The day follow the conditions- not a schedule.
You’re not here to ski someone else’s objective. Tell us what fires you up and we’ll deliver.
Fast powder. Long runs. Steeps. Spines. Technical terrain. Or simply the best snow we can find. Your ability. Your appetite. Your objectives. Then we build the day.
Long powder runs. Glaciers. Alpine faces. Couloirs. Spines. Big terrain.
Alaska is famous for its steepest lines, but it’s best kept secret is the smooth, open powder terrain that is perfect for strong intermediate and advanced skiers.
Your package includes 14 Hobbs (heli flight hours). How these hours are used is up to you. Some days we may fly farther to find better snow. Other days the best skiing may be close to the lodge.
Either way, your guides will talk to you about it and manage the week around the conditions and your objectives to maximize your flight time.
Highest level of safety. Better support. Always backed up.
Two guides is not an upgrade, it is the Third Edge standard.
Fly into Anchorage International Airport; our lodges are roughly 15 minutes away by helicopter or about one hour by road.
Easy in. Easy Out.
