Kings & Corn
Kings & Corn: Alaska King Salmon Fishing and Heli Skiing
There is nothing like June in Alaska. And we know we’re not supposed to pick favorites, but after 20 years of skiing corn snow in the morning and
fishing for king salmon
at night, it’s pretty difficult to not love Kings and Corn.
For one month only, you can cast and carve your way through the day with
summer heli skiing
plus guided fly-in fishing for the legendary Alaska king salmon on the prolific Talachulitna River.
Under the June midnight sun, the action doesn’t stop unless you want it to.
Summer Heli Skiing in the Morning: Corn Snow Skiing
Corn snow, the result of melt-freeze cycles, is ideal for
Alaska heli skiing and boarding
—and it holds up well in our margaritas. Pebble-size kernels of softening ice have a soft carve-able surface and our guides are experienced harvesters who know how to predict the best timing for the best locations. Count on corn runs during the morning hours, or at the end of the day, after the cooling has refrozen the round crystals. One Kings and Corn highlight is experiencing a carve-able surface for t-shirt skiing in 75 degrees.
Cast a Line in the Afternoon: EPIC Alaska Fishing
The weather can often dictate what activity we will pursue. Whether we’re skiing or fishing, we have you covered! Some days we will combine fishing and skiing on the same day. Other days, if the weather keeps us out of the mountains, we’ll launch
heli rafting trips
,
landing you and your friends along the river and float sections of the Talachulitna river.
Fishing
along the way for rainbow trout and grayling. Some sections even include splashy whitewater. When the daily activities wrap up, it’s back to the lodge for
apps, drinks and dinner
. If you haven’t had enough, there’s plenty of daylight to end your day behind the master craft, stand up paddling, canoeing or kayaking around the glassy lake. Listen for the loons as the sun sets around 1 a.m.!
