ANCHORAGE, Alaska—A contracted helicopter carrying guides and guests from a lodge on a heli-skiing trip in Alaska’s backcountry crashed, killing the pilot and four others, including the Czech Republic’s richest man.

The only other person onboard was in serious condition but stable Sunday at an Anchorage hospital, Alaska State Troopers said.
