Kings and Corn
Heli Ski & King Salmon Fishing in Alaska

Summary

Come experience five days of non-stop action and adventure in the heart of the Alaskan Wilderness!! The Kings and Corn summer action-adventure trip features King Salmon fishing, corn-snow heliskiing, and whitewater rafting. All activities are heli-supported, enabling access to the best the Alaskan Bush has to offer.

Guests heli ski the Tordrillo Mountains of the Alaska Range. Astounding views of these mountains are present in all directions from the lodge. Ski days typically begin in the morning and end by mid-afternoon. When conditions are right your guides may launch the helicopter for the opportunity to ski in the Alaskan midnight sun, topping off the day. Each run consists of velvety corn snow with an average vertical of approximately 3,000 feet.

King salmon fishing is done on the famous Yentna and Skwentna Rivers. The helicopter shuttles guests into remote stretches of these rivers where you fish the banks or inflate rafts to float and fish your way to a designated pick-up. The average size of these fish is 30 lbs but a 50 lb catch is not unusual. Although fishing skills are helpful, prior experience with king salmon is not critical.
