There’s everything from gentle greens and long, well-groomed blues to some seriously steep and challenging hike-to terrain, but most people come here for the powder. It is also a great place to get back your ski legs before embarking on a heliskiing trip in the remote Chugach Mountains.
The resort’s location, a short drive from Anchorage, makes it very accessible and as a result crowds can build a little at the weekend or on a powder day – but this does mean that the slopes are usually nice and quiet in the week.
Either stay in Anchorage or at the smart hotel complex at the foot of the mountain.

Temperatures remain comparatively high on the Left Coast as their poor start to the season continues. The freezing line will sit around midmountain level at most places across the PNW, Frontier Ranges and Tetons, demonstrating how widespread this bad start is. Things do turn colder as the weekend approaches, and with it a few flurries of snowfall, but nothing much to write home about.
The Ice Coast continues to experience bitterly cold conditions, with daytime highs of -18°C (-3°F) expected in parts at times. Flurries of snow will be found overnight, meaning tracks should hopefully freshen up for the new day!
