About Remarkable Adventures
Remarkable Adventures is a boutique backcountry ski guiding service based in Girdwood, owned and operated by AMGA Certified Ski Guide Nick D'Alessio. Nick has called Alaska home since 2007 and has been guiding professionally in the Chugach Mountains and beyond since 2008, earning his American Mountain Guides Association ski guide certification in 2014 — one of a small number of guides in the state with that credential.
The company specialises in custom, private backcountry ski touring and snowboard trips, primarily in Turnagain Pass but also at Summit Lake and Hatcher Pass depending on conditions. Day trips depart directly from Girdwood, putting clients on quality snow within 30 minutes. Multi-day remote expeditions and ski mountaineering objectives are available for experienced parties. Nick also teaches avalanche safety courses and mountain skills clinics for backcountry newcomers.
What sets Remarkable Adventures apart is the one-on-one private guiding model — every trip is tailored to the client's ability, fitness level, and terrain preferences. There are no fixed group sizes or cookie-cutter itineraries. Nick's deep knowledge of Turnagain Pass snowpack and terrain selection means clients ski the best conditions available on any given day.
