The snowiest place in Alaska, Thompson Pass, is an idyllic spot for splitboarders. This wonderful oasis located in between the Chugach Mountains, has an average snowfall of 552 inches per year, a true record. That, and a strong winter air coming from the Gulf of Alaska make these mountains really steep, allowing you to experience perfect surfaces for some exciting descents!
Its varied terrain and impeccable powder will be a constant on this 7-day adventure, as well as the beauty of Prince William Sound, Valdez, a small town where we will lodge every night. However, you can choose to camp for one or two nights to find more spots for splitboarding.
This is the beauty of this program: you get the chance to change it according to your needs, wants and skills, so you can have an amazing time splitboarding in Thompson Pass. It is also possible to heliski, although it is not included in the price.
Don’t forget that these are challenging terrains, so you will need to be fit and have prior splitboarding experience.
If you are ready, we want to hear from you! Book this trip now to enjoy the privilege of splitboarding in one of the snowiest places on Earth!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
