Women’s Ski Camps with Jessica Baker
Alaska Heli Skiing Women's Week w/ Pulseline Valdez, AK April 2026
Bucket list helicopter skiing and riding in Alaska's Chugach with other women!
Cost: $10,600 USD
Ski Divas special collab with Pulseline Adventures in the Chugach based out of Valdez, Alaska, the birthplace of Alaska helicopter skiing and riding. This ski and snowboard camp brings you together with other badass women, where you will step into big-mountain Alaska riding in a supportive and approachable environment. Meet new friends and enjoy bonding with other women who share the same passions for mountains, untracked snow, and new challenges. Alaska is the ultimate bucket list endeavor on your skis or snowboard, why not do it with other women looking for the same adventure?!
Gain confidence in your skiing and snowboarding ability with personalized coaching and mentorship from our veteran women heli-ski guides, truly some of the most talented and experienced heli-ski guides in the industry.
We’ll choose terrain that’s appropriate for the group’s overall skiing/riding level and progress to more challenges per group request and guide assessment. We’re striving to create an encouraging, fun, positive experience in the mountains where you’re not scared but excited and focused! And if you are dealing with fear, we have created this camp to help you work through it in a positive and supportive environment.
After fun, thrilling, and challenging days in the mountains, enjoy après hang-out time and dinners with the group. Morning yoga and stretch sessions are available and optional, plus massage therapy and acupuncture are available for extra.
