About Alaska Powder Descents

Alaska Powder Descents (APD) was established in 2007 by local Juneau guides, and it has remained locally owned and operated for nearly 20 years!  Today, APD hosts a talented team of professional guides providing heliskiing and snowboarding, backcountry touring, and film/production logistics. 

Juneau is our home, and we pride ourselves on offering highly personalized experiences to each one of our guests.  Come experience our amazing small town snow community, and experience our incredible Alaskan Heli Terrain!

APD is also well established in the action sports film and television industry.  We’ve worked repeatedly Teton Gravity Research, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, and others. 

Beyond Juneau, we also offer guiding, and film logistics/support throughout Alaska and internationally.
