H20 Guides - Dean Cummings

(text from operator website)

Our family-owned company is the longest running heli ski business under one owner in Valdez and the only company based here full time. We work all year refining our operations, expanding our scope, and staying on the cutting edge of mountain, glacier, aircraft, and snow safety. Offering the highest quality heli-skiing experience in Alaska, we are the best operator out there. Please contact us with any questions and we'd be happy to help!

With us, you have access to all the terrain that Valdez and the surrounding mountains have to offer. No other operator can say this. H2O's permits through the BLM and the US Forest Service provide you with a gateway to over 2.6 million acres, more than any other operator in the world. With nine unique staging locations we access good snow when other operators cannot. We earned these permits through a competitive process because of our experience, safety record and respect for the environment.

Dean Cummings played a critical role pioneering helicopter skiing in Alaska and has been guiding in the Chugach Range since 1990. With ski mountaineering experience on all seven continents and in every major mountain range on the planet, our guides bring diverse backgrounds and talents to the H2O team. Fully certified professionals in the field, everyone at H2O is committed to providing a safe, fun, and educational experience.

We have the best safety record in the industry hands down. We maintain this high level of safety with recurrent guide training and strict adherence to our operating protocols. Our policies allow us to be conservative with weather, and our snow safety program is cutting edge with full time avalanche forecasters on staff.
