In the world of big‑mountain skiing, Alaska is the final frontier—a place where scale, exposure, and raw beauty converge. For women ready to step into that arena, Pulseline Adventures’ Big Mountain Women’s Heli Ski Week offers an experience that is equal parts progression, camaraderie, and pure alpine immersion.
An Intimate, High‑Level Gathering
This is not a mass‑market camp. With only eight seats available, the week is deliberately curated for women who want to push their skiing to new heights. Each participant is interviewed by phone to ensure readiness for Alaska’s demanding terrain. The result is a group that arrives prepared, motivated, and aligned in their pursuit of progression.
Guides Jess Baker and Lynn Kennen—both seasoned heli veterans—anchor the experience. Their leadership sets the tone: uncompromising in terrain choice, yet deeply inclusive in spirit.
Mark your calendar: April 18, 2026, is the date when this rare gathering takes flight.
The Rhythm of the Week
Pulseline’s goal is simple: ski every day. When conditions align, participants average six heli‑accessed runs per day, each spanning 2,000 to 6,000 vertical feet. The terrain is unapologetically Alaskan—spines, mini‑features, and steep faces where slough management becomes as critical as line choice.
On inevitable down days, the camp pivots seamlessly. Organized activities keep energy flowing, while recovery time offers space to absorb the magnitude of the experience. Evenings are punctuated by five hosted group dinners, where stories, laughter, and reflection deepen the bonds forged on the mountain.
The Shift Jess Baker Sees
Jess Baker describes one of the most striking dynamics: bonding happens almost instantly. Unlike competitive environments, this camp cultivates a collective spirit. By week’s end, participants are not only skiing stronger—they are leaving with new friends, new confidence, and a sense of fulfillment that lingers long after departure.
Why Alaska, Why Now
Alaska is not about compromise. It is about standing at the edge of possibility and stepping forward. Pulseline’s Women’s Week captures that ethos: inclusive yet uncompromising, supportive yet demanding. It is designed for women who want to test themselves against the terrain that defines big‑mountain skiing worldwide.
The Takeaway
Pulseline Adventure Big Mountain Women’s Heli Ski Week is more than a camp—it is a rite of passage. With Jess Baker and Lynn Kennien guiding, participants discover not just new lines but new limits. They leave Alaska with a rare combination of technical progression, lifelong camaraderie, and the confidence that comes from skiing the world’s most formidable terrain.
