Haines Summit, Alaska

[No Bad Days]

Had a great trip this last weekend, Haines Summitt, Alaska. This was the ultimate in glacier riding. This area is 10X+ the size of Boulder Mtn. Never did find the end of it. Not a tree in sight. Had 4 sleds on the truck and 28 in the trailer. Sleds stayed on the hiway for 3 nights. Had 3 days of trackless powder.

Wow... Now that would be a trip!
How bad of a drive was that? Hrs?

Jumped on a plane in Edmonton, flew to Whitehorse, rented trucks and drove 400 kms. Stayed in Haines Alaska, rode at the summit.

Did the Semi haul the sleds out there? or how did that work?

 

[No Bad Days]

The sleds were loaded on Monday and headed north, we flew out on Wednesday, sleds were there waiting for us at the summit when we drove by on Wednesday, picked up all our gear off the truck, stayed the night in Haines, Alaska, drove back in the morn to the summit to ride.

That is sweeet!

Where is the shipping handled out of and by whom? Is this an all inclusive trip or is everybody on their own to get to Haines? What is the cost (I suppose if that question needs to be asked one can't afford this luxury!)? Time frame for riding and driving, etc. Is it one week or 10 days?

Thanks, fs

The Border Crossing is as far as I made it , we were going sled racing the Alcan 200 . Long ways to go to find out they won't let you in.

Rocky mountain tours handles the haul out of Edmonchuk. The trip is an annual one to different places organized by a couple of guys here in Whitecourt. Pretty much takes a funeral or wedding to get on the list. Guys usually leave on a Wednesday, back for work the following Monday.
