Book your trip

Compare our exclusive memberships, select your stay at Tsaina Lodge or Alaska Rendezvous Lodge, and let our crew handle the logistics.

Different lodges, same skiing.

Your adventure, your choice.

We offer accommodations at two distinct locations on Thompson Pass: the Tsaina Lodge and the Alaska Rendezvous Lodge. Just 10 minutes apart by our private shuttle, each lodge features its own helipad, bar, restaurant, and unique set of amenities.

While each offers a different atmosphere, both put you right in the heart of the action - step out of your room or yurt and straight into the helicopter for an unforgettable day in the Chugach Mountains. Memberships vary by lodging, so you can choose the experience that best suits your style.
