Alaska Mountaineering School
" The consensus is that our Alaska experience was the best trip ever. We were not only blown away by the mountains and glaciers, but by the diligence of your preparation and execution. You taught us to respect where we were, but not to fear it... "
— Richard Bensing, Scoutmaster for Paoli Troop 1, Paoli, PA

AMS Custom Programs

AMS is truly Alaskan — we do it all as long as it is in the backcountry. Every year we organize custom trips and work with participants to come up with a plan that meets their goals. We have simultaneously organized and run a family reunion in the Ruth Gorge, a small team climb on the Moose's Tooth and small group expedition on Denali.

AMS offers courses, climbs, youth group activities, glacier treks, and film support. We operate our programs on glacier or tundra. We love to fly fish and know which lakes in the Talkeetna Mountains have Rainbows and which have Grayling. AMS is the fixer for film projects in Denali National Park. We can help the location manager find the right area, outfit entire crews and safely transport them and their gear to location and manage the site.

Tell us your goal, group size, and timeframe; we will help you come up with the perfect plan. AMS has the logistics, equipment, and expertise to make your visit to Alaska rewarding and unforgettable. We hear from many participants that their AMS experience was the highlight of their visit to Alaska.
