"Tsaina Lodge, the birthplace of the Alaskan free-skiing scene, is the legendary heli-skiing base on Thompson Pass in the Chugach Mountains—the snowiest place in Alaska. In 2011, it was purchased and restored by Jeff Fraser, a former tech exec and longtime VHSG client. The once-decrepit inn, a former oil-trucker roadhouse, now has 24 comfortable rooms with a fantastic lounge and bar, appealing to a new generation of skiers."
