Go, Do, See 4 Extreme Sports

Extreme sports aren’t for everyone, at least the participation part. But if you’re into them, Alaska is definitely the place to be. After all, Alaska is extreme! Here are the top 5 extreme sports of The Last Frontier:

Heli-Skiing

I can’t wait to share these moments with you on this very special Christian cruise. We hope you’ll come along for a spectacular week in one of our favorite places on earth!

Imagine soaring high into the Alaska’s endless snow-draped peaks, then being dropped off on one of them, maybe with a few of your best friends. Then you ski down a nearly vertical slope of fresh, untouched powder into the vast Alaskan backcountry.

Several professional heli-skiing outfits operate over vast areas of the Chugach Mountains, including Valdez and the Girdwood areas. You can also find heli-skiing in Haines and Juneau.

Ice climbing

Ice climbing is the sport of climbing glaciers and other inclined ice formations. Unlike rock climbing, ice climbing involves more swinging and pounding (of ice picks) to get your stance.

As you might imagine, Alaska is full of ice climbing areas. Some climbs are roped and protected icefalls, frozen waterfalls, and cliffs covered with ice refrozen from flows of water

Bore Tide Surfing . A bore tide is a wave of seawater that forms when the tide shifts as it returns to a shallow and narrowing inlet from a broad bay. It occurs after extreme minus low tides created by the full or new moon.

There are more than 60 bore tides around the world, but only a few are known as extreme. Alaska has one of them in the Turnagain Arm on the Cook Inlet south of Anchorage. The best times for surfing the bore tide (or at least watching it) is near the spring and fall equinoxes in March and September, respectively.

Caution: the biggest hazard to surfing a bore tide is getting stuck in the mud flats and drowning on the incoming tide.

Mountain Climbing

Alaska has all ten of the top ten tallest mountain peaks in the USA! Denali, of course, is the big one, towering at 20,310 feet. About 1,000 people per year attempt the summit Denali, with an average of 3 resulting in death (often from descent and/or falls).

There’s still snow-kiting, snow-biking, skijoring, snow biking, dry-suit scuba diving, winter surfing and more.

Places to Go : Wai Kai

Ewa Beach — Everything people love about Hawaii will be at one new destination in West Oahu— with a major twist. Wai Kai, located within Hoakalei Resort in Ewa Beach, will capitalize on surfing’s growing popularity by coupling the world’s largest deep-water standing surf wave with dining, entertainment, and events focused on wellness, families, arts and culture, and celebrations for every season.

“Wai Kai is destined to become a year-round active destination where residents and visitors will enjoy first-of-its-kind attractions, signature events and the natural beauty of the nearby Pacific Ocean,” said Larry Caster, director of retail development for Wai Kai Commercial Development, the company building Wai Kai. “Wai Kai will have interactive and engaging experiences all in one place, along with great food, that you won’t find anywhere else.”

Wai Kai is part of Hoakalei Resort, where every day feels like a vacation with access to adjacent beaches and ancient shoreline trail, gracious residences and seven major golf courses nearby, including Hoakalei Country Club designed by Ernie Els, his first Hawaii signature golf course.

One of the truly unique experiences at Wai Kai will be The LineUp, a dynamic social and recreational hub of authentic waterman experiences headlined by the Wai Kai Wave, the world’s largest deep-water standing surf wave at 100-feet wide. Powered by citywave®, the technology creates authentic surfing conditions with perfect endless and adjustable waves from two-feet to head-high for all skill levels allowing the use of standard surfboards with fins for big carving turns and top-to-bottom surfing on its glassy wave face. The Wai Kai Wave was created in collaboration with Oahu’s-own Shane Beschen (a partner in The LineUp at Wai Kai’s operating company), X Games Gold Medalist and a former world #2 ranked surfer, and his young gun surfing son Noah.

“The surfing will be similar to Oahu’s Waimea Bay river wave that flows periodically when the sand bar opens up after heavy rainfall periods – but on steroids,” said Shane. “Everything from high speed carving turns to sections for attacking the lip or doing airs are all possible here. It creates the perfect on-demand setup.”

The Wai Kai Wave overlooks the 52-acre Wai Kai Lagoon, which will offer a sheltered area for stand up paddling, kayaks, guided outrigger canoes, and piloted electric boat cruises. Major surf and waterman competitions are being planned for the Wai Kai Wave and Wai Kai Lagoon.

Along a portion of the Lagoon waterfront will be restaurants and areas for pop-up retail, events and recreation to appeal to visitors and residents alike interested in wellness, arts and culture.

Kenny Chesney has rescheduled his Chillaxification tour stop at Bobcat Stadium for 6 p.m. on July 3, 2021.

Chesney’s Bobcat Stadium appearance in Bozeman on the campus of Montana State University marks the artist’s first appearance in Montana in close to 20 years and is his only appearance in Montana & Wyoming.

The only country artist on Billboard’s Top 10 Touring Acts of the Last 25 Years, Chesney’s summer stadium treks have become legend – and gave rise to the iconic No Shoes Nation. Built on a strong commitment to the fans, Chesney’s No Shoes Radio serves as a connector for the man The Los Angeles Times deemed “The People’s Superstar” and The Wall Street Journal hailed “The King of the Road.”

“I love playing for No Shoes Nation any time, anywhere,” said Kenny Chesney, “but these stadium shows are always something so powerful, I can’t tell you how much anticipation goes into each one. Not to mention, we’re always wanting to top what’s come before – and I think this lineup might just pack the most fun of them all.”

Recently singled out by Variety as “Country’s only long-term stadium act,” Chillaxification 2020 builds on the enduring rite of summer that Chesney’s stadium shows have become. With the multiple-week No. 1 “Get Along” from his deeply personal Songs for the Saints, benefiting the Love for Love City Fund, and the steamy “Tip of My Tongue” hovering just outside the Top 10 at Country radio, there’s a lot of new music, old favorites, and surprises on tap for what will be the summer’s biggest tour.

Having defined the country music stadium experience over the last decade and a half, Chesney spent this year’s Songs for the Saints Tour taking his music to the cities that have been overlooked on his massive million-tickets-a-summer treks. Having played 159 stadium shows – rocking over a million people at Gillette Stadium alone – Chillaxification 2020 promises to be everything No Shoes Nation has come to expect from the man who gave them “American Kids,” “Beer In Mexico,” “Out Last Night,” “Noise,” “When the Sun Goes Down” and more.

Tickets cost from $37.50-$165.50. Previously purchased tickets are valid for the new date. For more information including refund options, visit http://BrickBreeden.com.

Things to Do: Air Sports

SKYDIVE LAKE TAHOE

From tip to sail, from leisurely hot air balloons and helicopter tours to heart-pounding air races and full-on land sailing all dialed and ready for your flight plan. Better yet, Nevada’s legendary bright blue skies make the perfect backdrop for any air sports adventures you’re looking to get into. Jump in the cockpit, tighten down that harness, and let’s fly.

Skydiving Nevada is a definite frontrunner as one of the most thrilling, adventurous air sports under the sun and places like Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe couldn’t be better places to jump out of a plane and tick this one off the list. Get that adrenaline pumping at Skydive Las Vegas—where visitors can freefall at 120+ miles per hour over the only drop zone in the country with views of Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, the Las Vegas Strip, Valley of Fire, Red Rock Canyon, Mount Charleston and the Mighty Colorado. Or climb 12,000 feet above magnificent Lake Tahoe for unmatched views of Big Blue and out-of-this-world excitement while tandem skydiving with the pros. If skydiving isn’t quite your speed, check out other extreme air sports in Nevada like hang gliding, parasailing and zip lining. The only thing left to do now? Make sure you’re the age of 18 or older, sign a waiver, and buckle up for the flight of your life.

HANG GLIDING

Whether you’re after big excitement or a peaceful ride, we’ve got a big ol’ sky with your name on it. Piloted by true thrill seekers who usually fly light, non-motorized aircraft, jump from mountain ranges, gliding down and landing into valleys below, hang gliding is one of the closest things to feeling like flying. Since Nevada is the most mountainous state in the continental U.S., that means hang gliding air sports in this part of the country are unrivaled. Fly with the Desert Skywalkers—a local hang gliding and paragliding pilots club in Vegas, or book your air adventure with Sierra Adventures—a motorized hang gliding experience over Tahoe, and surrounding mountainscapes.

Hang gliding is one way to get a dose of solid adventure, but did you know pilots from all over the world travel to Nevada’s Carson Valley to practice, get certified, and take advantage of the ideal sky gliding conditions? Similar to hang gliding, a glider ride means experiencing the thrill of being pulled into the air by a tow plane, before cutting loose and soaring in an engineless plane—with only the sound of the wind under your wings— over Emerald Bay, the mighty Sierra Nevada mountains, and beyond.

PARASAILING

What better way to take in Lake Tahoe’s stunning clarity than from above? Slightly more controlled than some of the other thrill-seeking air sports in Nevada, visitors and locals can hover over one of the largest and clearest alpine lakes in the world by parasailing Lake Tahoe.

Departing from north and south Lake Tahoe, experienced captains and crew float visitors up above crystal-clear blue waters by parasail.

Air Sports - Continued

This dry and gentle takeoff and landing means this air sport is perfect for photographers, so be sure to have your camera ready. All parasailing in Nevada can be found at Lake Tahoe, Lake Mead, and the Colorado River, where visitors can embark on single or tandem rides that vary in height from 400 to 1,200 feet above Big Blue.

Back on (very) dry land, Nevada is the premier landsailing destination in the U.S., where “sailors” from all over the globe flock to our hard, flat, dry lake beds (playas) to race dirt boats that scream up to 90 miles per hour. America’s Land Sailing Cup, the Land Sailling World Championship, and other top landsailing events covet Nevada’s ideal combo of hard packed ground and wind. It’s basically the holy gale of wind sports.

ZIPLINING

Zip through downtown Las Vegas over rugged canyons and southern Nevada desertscapes, or in full view of Lake Tahoe with several zip lining courses in Nevada. Grab onto the Fremont Street Experience from above at SlotZilla Zip Line Experience. Here, thrill seekers climb eleven stories above this historic five-block stretch of Fremont Street, and soar like superheroes beneath a dazzling canopy lined with the world’s largest concentration of LED lights.

Or, fly the tallest, fastest zipline in Las Vegas with 360-degree, open-air views of the Strip at VooDoo Zip Line. You can also head for more scenic desert landscapes with vast blue skies at Flightlinez Bootleg Canyon in Boulder City. Book a sunset tour, which always delivers incredible views of Lake Mead and the vibrant red rocks surrounding Boulder City, or reserve a moonlit tour ziplining over the Mojave Desert.

If you’re visiting northern Nevada, be sure to embark on the Blue Streak Zip Line, which starts at 10,000 feet and soars 50 miles per hour above Lake Tahoe down more than 3,000 lateral feet of zip line.

HOT AIR BALLOONS

Your hot air balloon comes to life and stands upright just seconds before whisking you into the heavens—rising up and over the Sierra—as you cross over the deep blue waters below serving up the best views of your life. Is that the kind of lofty air sports magic you’re after? Yeah, us too. Take off on a hot air ballooning air sports adventure in Nevada, which can range from personal hot air balloon rides to balloon races, balloon festivals and beyond.

Northern Nevada is home to the Ruby Mountain Balloon Festival near Elko, and the Great Reno Balloon Race in Reno. Nearly 40 balloons hover over the majestic Ruby Mountains, while the Great Reno Balloon Race is the world’s largest free hot air ballooning event. Just an hour south, Carson Valley is home to Balloon Nevada— the only full-time, year-round balloon ride company offering private hot air balloon rides in northern Nevada.

Got the need for some seriously extreme speed? Crowds cheering. Hearts pounding. The Reno Air Races boast the fastest motorsport title on earth—a one-of-a-kind thrill you have to see, hear and feel to believe. Besides watching the action in the sky at the world’s longest-running air race, get an up-close look at aircraft, pilots, and crews in the “pits” at this Reno event.

Looking for something even more exhilarating? How about booking a flight rental? Jump in the cockpit yourself to become a fighter pilot for a day at Las Vegas’ Sky Combat Ace flight training school. Sightseeing tours are aplenty in Nevada, especially in the Las Vegas area. Aircraft rentals and tandem flights are available ranging from private planes to helicopters, but sightseeing safaris are the way to go, especially in southern Nevada.

Book a helicopter tour for dazzling day or nighttime Las Vegas tour of the Strip, get a load of Vegas’ surrounding scenic splendor with sky-high sightseeing tours of Red Rock Canyon and the Spring Mountains, or venture on a tour with Grand Canyon Tours that depart hourly from Boulder City.
