Departing Anchorage Alaska.
Bags are packed, the Marmot back country gear is ready; the time has finally come for my heli skiing trip of a lifetime! The Airplane service used by the lodge is Sportsman’s Air Service stationed in Anchorage and at Tordrillo Mountain Lodge.

Airborne. Flying to the Tordrillo Mountain Lodge
From Ted Stevens International Airport, they are just a quick 45-minute flight to Judd Lake and the Tordrillo Mountain Lodge. The aircraft I’m in is a DeHavilland Beaver and the ride is great.
We fly past majestic Denali and into the range of mountains the surround Tordrillo Mountain Lodge.
Just getting to the lodge has been a mind blowing experience flying past snow covered peaks, lakes and rivers. Now it’s time to check out the lodge.
Check back soon for Part 2 of my Alaska heli skiing trip & adventure!
