Where Legends Were Born

Pulseline Adventure, LLC is based in Valdez, Alaska.—a remote town cradled between the ocean and the awe-inspiring Chugach Mountains. Valdez is where the legends of heliskiing were born. With some of the best terrain and snow on the planet, this destination is a magnet for adventurers. But what makes heliskiing in Valdez so extraordinary? Let’s dive into its epic history and find out why the Chugach Mountains reign supreme.

The start of skiing in Valdez as it is known today can be traced back to the 1987 when local pilot Chuck McMahan would come down the Richardson Highway at Thompson Pass and fly skiers.

The region exploded in popularity after events like the World Extreme Skiing Championships showcased Valdez's epic slopes to the world. Soon, the town became a global hotspot for skiers, snowboarders, and anyone obsessed with untouched powder. The ski and snowboard films of the early nineties, by TGR, Standard Films and others started showcasing Valdez’s terrain.

Today, with more lines than can ever be skied in one life-time, Valdez continues to be at the center of Alaska big-mountain skiing.

The snowpack in Valdez—reliably deep and stable—offers dream conditions, while the rugged, awe-inspiring terrain ensures that there are challenges for even the best skiers and snowboarders in the world.  At the same time, you don’t need to be a pro to enjoy Alaska.
