In partnership with Ski Divas LLC, professional mountain guides (certified AMGA and IFMGA guides), on a backcountry ski touring and sailing trip of a lifetime in the northernmost fjords and archipelago of Finnmark, Norway. You will spend 8 days aboard the Skydancer sailboat, sailing and skiing your way from Oxfjord, Norway deep into the Finnmark roadless region. You will be surrounded by peaks jutting up over 5000 ft in elevation out of the sea, whales, dolphins, and terrain that is only accessible by boat. Explore new terrain daily, all from the ‘basecamp’ of the Skydancer sailboat. Enjoy home cooked meals and comraderie with Captain Nick and Estella, and immerse yourself in the wilds of northernmost Norway, and the best ski guides in the business.

THE BOAT

The Skydancer, built in Denmark in 2007, is a 73 ft schooner sailboat made of steel and aluminum and fortified for the rigors of arctic waters. The Skydancer can accommodate up to 8 guests plus 2 guides, and 2 crew members with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and one shower, making it a comfortable fun, and social place to come home to every evening.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

7 nights and 8 days aboard the Skydancer sailboat, 7 days of food (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, coffee, tea), and 7 days of guided skiing 4:1 client to guide ratio. One night of hotel (double occupancy) and group dinner and breakfast on the front end of the trip in Alta, Norway. And round-trip shuttle service from Alta, Norway to Oxfjord, Norway and back.

Valdez, Alaska — and especially Thompson Pass — is one of the world’s premier destinations for ski touring. Known as the birthplace of heli‑skiing, this region offers an unparalleled combination of big-mountain terrain, deep snow, and legendary Alaskan ski culture. One of the best ways to experience it all is to come prepared for the full spectrum: human‑powered touring, heli‑assisted touring, and full heli‑ski days when the mountains open up for us.

This private trip with your closest ski partners is uniquely flexible and built around one goal: No Down Days. Brenton has been running this trip for more than ten years, and the formula is simple—stay adaptable so we ski every single day. When visibility is low, we tour. When the legs are feeling worked, we grab an assist to maximize vertical while still exploring on foot. And when the skies clear and the big lines are ready, we jump into an A‑Star with Pulseline Adventure for one or two unforgettable days of heli‑skiing in Alaska.

This is a fully customizable experience shaped around your goals and your group. You’ll spend the week immersed in Alaska’s ski culture, chasing the best conditions, and embracing the “No Down Days” approach from start to finish. If you don’t already have a group, reach out — we may have an existing trip you can join. Rates are based on how many times we use a heli drop or heli ski days. Please inquire if you have any questions.
