Alaska Ski Vacations
Alaska, which has always been a source of awe and mystery, has
some of the best skiing in the world, and the Alyeska Resort is
one of the finest resorts in the state. With a top elevation of
2751 feet and a 2501 vertical drop, the area gets an average of
631 inches of snow annually. Although this is some of the best
skiing in the world, you won't find the slopes overly crowded,
and there are no long lift lines. There are nine lifts,
including six chair lifts and two surface lifts, and one cable
car line. There are 68 trails for beginners, intermediates, and
experts, with the majority of the trails designed for
intermediate skiers. Night time skiing is allowed, which makes
your ski experience more adventurous and thrilling. You will see
snow capped mountains, hanging glaciers, and of course, the
famous Northern Lights. This resort is ranked number nine of the
top twenty-five killer ski trips by Skiing Magazine. The season
begins at the Alyeska Resort in mid November, and runs through
mid April. This area of Alaska boasts the longest daytime areas
in the United States, with approximately sixteen hours of
daylight each day during April. During December, however, 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. The Alyeska Prince Hotel is the
place to stay! Here you will enjoy elegant rooms and fine
dining. Nightly entertainment is available as well. There are
other nightlife spots in the area as well, that are not
associated with the Hotel. If tubing interests you, then
visiting the Glacier Tubing Park is an absolute must! Featuring
two lanes of terrain and a surface lift, everyone in the family
will enjoy spending time at the tubing park. The Alyeska Terrain
Park is a must for snowboarding enthusiasts. Other winter
activities that can be enjoyed in and around the Alyeska Resort
include flight seeing, helisking, ocean cruising tours, dog
sledding, ice climbing, back country skiing, mountaineering, and
polar bear viewing. At the Alyeska Resort, the ultimate winter
vacation can be experienced. Brave the elements, then return to
the Hotel for some pampering. Get a taste of what Alaska is
really like, and what skiing is meant to be! There are
activities for the entire family to enjoy, and there are many
area sights and attractions to be enjoyed as well. This really
is an awesome winter family ski vacation! Enjoy your Alaska Ski
Vacation.
