Our guide for the Trip was Chris Coulter. This year I linked up with TGR and Seaba Heli Guides, where in years past I have flown with Alaska heliskiing. I have had some great times here in the past and getting another opportunity to ski here is a dream come true. I have been spending my April in Alaska, Haines to be specific.
