Alyeska Resort, nestled in Girdwood, Alaska, is approximately 40 miles south of Anchorage and stands as Alaska's premier skiing and snowboarding destination. Known for its impressive steep terrain and a generous snowpack, it offers some of the most exhilarating slopes in North America. The mountain showcases an array of terrains catering to all skill levels. With over 1,600 skiable acres, every skier or snowboarder, be it a novice or an expert, can find a trail that suits them. Alyeska boasts a summit elevation of 3,939 feet and an impressive vertical drop of 2,500 feet, making it one of the continent's most remarkable ski resorts. One of its key advantages is its northern location, ensuring it receives an average annual snowfall of over 650 inches. This abundant snow guarantees a long ski season, usually spanning from November to April, with many delightful powder days. However, Alyeska is not just about skiing. The resort provides top-tier amenities, including an array of dining choices, a spa, and the Hotel Alyeska, conveniently located at the base. This hotel provides guests with direct slope access and a tram journey up the mountain. What truly sets Alyeska apart is its awe-inspiring backdrop. Gazing out, visitors are treated to panoramic views of the Turnagain Arm, surrounding glaciers, and the majestic Chugach Mountains. Beyond its winter appeal, Alyeska and its vicinity offer an assortment of year-round activities, from mountain biking to glacier tours. And for those visiting during the colder months, the possibility of witnessing the entrancing dance of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights adds another layer of allure to this Alaskan gem.
