Ride, eat, sleep, repeat in Alaska next March with Mint and CMG
Alaska heli-skiing is the final frontier for every snowboarder and next March we’ve teamed up with Crowne Mountain Guides (CMG) to deliver the ultimate AK heli week limited to only seven advanced riders. CMG has access to three major mountain ranges – The Chugach, Tordrillo and Talkeetna that all offer a mix of steep alpine lines, glacier runs, and untracked powder.
