The Riders Speak

Some of the best skiers in the world are raving about their experience in Alaska.

"Comprised of professionals who are defectors from the original Valdez helicopter skiing companies, Rendezvous, or the 'Renegades' as we call them, have held over all of the positive perceptions, knowledge and zeal from the original big mountain Alaska riding experience, while carrying those qualities of friendly, unmanipulative business ethics into the future. Accessing much of the best terrain, with the best attitude, you'll see me at The Rendezvous again."
- Kent Kreitler, big mountain free-skiing pioneer
