Wintertime Fun in Alaska - Alyeska Ski Resort
If you are a winter sports enthusiast, then the Alyeska Ski
Resort is the place to be! Regardless of your sporting interest,
you are sure to find it at this phenomenal complex tucked away
in the lovely Chugach Mountains on the state's south central
coast. Rated a four diamond hotel by the American Automobile
Agency, this resort is the only four diamond in the entire
state. Conveniently located a mere 40 miles from the bustling
hub of Anchorage in the quaint town of Girdwood, this resort is
easily reachable from the airport or port. The resort is lovely
year round, but it certainly comes alive during the winter, when
outdoor and winter sports enthusiasts alike flock in the great
outdoors to pursue their passions.
Whether you are an old pro or a newbie, the Alyeska Ski Resort
has your ticket! For less experienced folks, enjoy a lesson in
skiing or snowboarding on the resort's more beginner-friendly
hills. These classes range in experience from beginner to
intermediate, allowing individuals to learn new techniques or
simply serve as a much needed refresher. Classes are available
for individuals of any age and are usually performed in a group,
although individual lessons are offered. For the more advanced
winter sports enthusiasts, the runs are phenomenal! Mount
Alyeska features an average annual snowfall of over 600 inches,
skiers and snowboarders have truly found paradise on earth.
For youngsters--or just the young at heart---hit the slopes at
Glacier Tube Park. Visitors of all ages will jump at the chance
to whiz down these soft, powdery runs on a large inner tube.
Perfect for all ages and skill levels, the Glacier Tube Park is
a popular spot at the Alyeska Ski Resort. Many adults enjoy the
tube park, especially those who are a bit too hesitant to
entrust their life to a pair of skinny skis or a single
snowboard!
The fantastic winter sports opportunities at the lovely Alyeska
Ski Resort are just one aspect of the wintertime fun. The hotel

tub, your room will be calling you off the slopes and into its
warm haven.
