Bill and Kathi

We are a husband and wife team with a lifetime of experience in the outdoors who specialize in our guest's safety, comfort and satisfaction. We operate out of Chickaloon, Alaska only an hour and a half by car from Anchorage, through the scenic Matanuska River Valley. Alaska's wealth of tundra, rivers, mountains and glaciers, lakes, islands and coastline is the perfect place for multi-day expeditions into true wilderness,nearly untouched by human activity.

We love to share our outdoor knowledge and experience with people from around the world. Every trip is also a learning experience where you learn about Alaska's flora, fauna and the land and people that live here and how to leave minimal impact on the places we visit so the next person will have the same experience as you.

Bill began his professional guiding career in 1979 working Bill for an outfitter in Pinedale, Wyoming.
With the Wind River Range as his backyard he enjoyed exploring and sharing this piece of Rocky Mountain wilderness with his guests. Moving to Alaska in 1989, the size of his backyard and opportunities for exploration and guiding multiplied. He owned his sled dog business in Fairbanks for many years before moving to the South Central area. Multi day river floats and wilderness expeditions became highlights of the summer season. With a passion for winter Bill began skiing and skijoring on the hundreds of miles of trails north of Fairbanks. Days spent out on the trail with temperatures below -50 gave him the opportunity to learn not only how to survive these extremes but to be comfortable and enjoy the experience. In 1998 he competed in the 350 mile human powered ( bike, ski or foot) race on the Iditarod Trail and finished to McGrath. Bill has completed the race eight times to McGrath and once to Nome in 2008 with Kathi.
He has organized the Iditarod Trail Invitaional with Kathi since 2002.

 

 

KathiKathi grew up on a dairy farm in the foothills of the Alps in Germany. She first came to Alaska in 1996 on a backpacking trip. She came back several times falling deeper in love with Alaska's great wilderness every visit.

In 2002 she received her resident alien status and moved to Alaska.
She has been exploring and guiding with Bill since she arrived. Kathi has finished the 350 mile and 1100 mile human powered race on the Iditarod Trail.
She speaks English and German fluently and also speaks some French and Italian.
All of our leisure time is spent biking, hiking, rafting, kayaking, skiing or snowshoeing in Alaska, Yukon and Northwest Territories in Canada, the Southwest US or Europe, always looking for new places to share with guests. We bring our experience and love of the wilderness to share with guests on every guided trip and students of our winter schools.
