Alaska has been a source of awe and mystery for ages. It also has some of the best skiing in the world. Of all the ski destinations in Alaska, the Alyeska Resort is among the best. The area gets an average of 631 inches of snow each year, with a maximum elevation of 2,751 feet and a 2,501 foot vertical drop.

The Alyeska Resort offers some of the world’s best skiing, but you won’t find the slopes overly crowded and you won’t have to wait in long lineups to use the lifts. There are nine lifts including two surface lifts, six chair lifts and one cable car line. Most of the 68 trails are designed for use by intermediate skiers, but beginners’ and experts’ trails are also available.

Night skiing at the Alyeska Resort brings more thrill and adventure to your vacation. At night, you’ll see the snow capped mountains, hanging glaciers and those famous Northern Lights. This resort is ranked number nine on Skiing Magazine’s list of the top twenty-five killer ski trips.

The season begins at the Alyeska Resort in the middle of November, and runs through the middle of April. This region of Alaska boasts the longest daytime areas in the United States, with approximately sixteen hours of daylight each day during April. Throughout December, though, there are only about seven hours of daylight — which makes night time skiing necessary if you are going to get in the time that you want to spend on the slopes.

If your perfect vacation includes luxurious rooms and fine dining, the Alyeska Prince Hotel is the place to be. You’ll enjoy nightly entertainment on site, or you can venture out to take in more nightlife at other nearby hotspots.

Tubing is a great way to have fun, and the Glacier Tubing Park really delivers. This park has two lanes of terrain and a surface lift, so everyone in the family will have a blast at the tubing park. The snowboarders in your group will love the Alyeska Terrain Park.

Other winter activities that can be enjoyed in and around the Alyeska Resort include heli-sking, ice climbing, ocean cruising tours, flight seeing, dog sledding, back country skiing, mountaineering, and polar bear watching.

If you’re looking for the ultimate winter vacation, you’ll find it at the Alyeska Resort. Dress warm and brave the elements, then head back to the hotel for some truly luxurious pampering. It’s a fabulous taste of Alaska, and it’s a great way to find out how thrilling skiing can really be.

Alyeska Resort has activities for the entire family to enjoy and countless unique sights and attractions. It really is the ultimate Alaskan ski getaway.
