If your near anchorage AMH (Alaska mountaineering and hiking store), Rei, Or Ski AK (ski shop).
One of those stores should do it. I would bet one of the shops in girdwood would do it to.

Alaska BC is kinda of dead on this website. TGR fourms have a lot of Alaska diehard tour peeps.

PSA: Every should test their pack every season!

Particularly the BCA packs. The trigger can come loose of the firing pin, and result in a miss fire (no bag activation)

At the start of last season I tested mine and nothing happened. A bad seal had allowed all the air to slowly leak out.

On that note: make sure whoever is re-filling your cylinders is replacing the o-rings. Also, you should check the air gauge every-time you take it out.

In Jackson, you can refill them at Moo's Ice cream. The owner(?) really knows his shit.

thats dope grab yourself a sundae while your tank gets filled haha i've had buddies pull theirs an nothing happen mainly because they didn't hook it up correctly an the air went into the pack an not the bag
