Fresh turns are on the horizon at Alyeska Resort, with 15 inches of snow expected over the next five days. While the current snowpack sits at 52 inches—below average for this time of year—conditions remain solid, with overnight temps hovering around 31°F. A light dusting of nearly an inch could refresh the slopes today, with almost three feet of snow water equivalent ensuring the base holds strong. With 2.99 inches forecasted in the next 72 hours, skiers and riders can anticipate a gradual refresh leading into the weekend.

Recent extreme weather temporarily impacted operations, with high winds and power outages causing intermittent closures. However, Alyeska is rebounding, and with exciting expansion plans in the works—including a new resort village and employee housing—the future of this Alaskan gem looks bright. For those seeking adventure, the North Face remains steep and firm, offering some of the most challenging inbounds terrain in the U.S. Keep an eye on the forecast, dress for variable conditions, and get ready to enjoy some classic Chugach powder in the days ahead.

About the Area


Alyeska Resort in Alaska is located in the Chugach Mountain Range, a prominent mountain range in the state known for its steep terrain and abundant snowfall. The resort itself is situated at the base of Mount Alyeska, which has a summit elevation of 3,939 feet. The mountain offers a variety of terrain for skiers and snowboarders, including groomed runs, steep chutes, and tree-lined slopes. The resort also offers access to backcountry skiing and snowboarding in the surrounding mountains.

Alyeska Resort, located in Girdwood, Alaska, is a must-visit destination for ski enthusiasts. The resort offers over 1,400 acres of skiable terrain, including the longest continuous double black diamond run in North America. The best trails can be found on the North Face, where skiers can enjoy steep and challenging runs. Interestingly, Alyeska Resort was originally built as a training facility for the US Ski Team in the 1960s. For beginners, the easiest runs can be found on the lower mountain, including the Cruisers and the Bear Cub Run. After a long day on the slopes, the Sitzmark Bar & Grill is the perfect spot for apres ski drinks and live music.
