Really nice resort, not too many people compared to lower 48. The only negative is the terrain parks. The rails are terrible, and the jumps are great but theyre not built until the second half of the season. Everything else, like the off piste and things you have to hike to are amazing, groomers are pretty good. Also decent lift lines/speeds. Overall 9/10 resort!

Alyeska is awesome and has plenty of options for everyone. Plenty of steep terrain with some chutes and numerous cliff drops. Also the high alpine side hits are unmatched here, some of the best natural jumps I've ever seen at a ski resort. All the lifts are fast and layed out well. Lines are short. Views are breathtaking, up there with the best in the country. Overall a super fun place to ski.

Pretty good resort but very very pricy during peak seasons. If you can shred on a weekday, go then.

This resort offers so much for so many different levels. Between the steep, advanced slope of the north face, to the slow-slope of the chair 3 and 7 lifts, Alyeska provides great skiing for all levels and ages.

Nice off piste skiing at the North Face area and have good amount of snow on the glacier bowl whenever there is a storm. But many employees are very rude and they would hire anyone to work there. Great skiing after all, bad customer service.

Its a really great ski resort, not too crowded (its Alaska). It has some crazy good powder, off piste runs when theyre actually open and not closed due to avalanches. Terrain parks are only open for a few months, and theyre not that big. Overall a decent ski resort that I go to almost every weekend, I would recommend to anyone but beginners.

Great resort to ski as long as you dont go during peak seasons. Its a little pricey then. It snows a lot in Alaska so theres always some powder trees somewhere!

Alyeska has a lot of runs for all levels but gets pretty pricey over holidays and weekends. The resort is only over one mountain so its not really worth all the money to ski peak periods. However during weekdays the ticket prices drop and become very affordable. Tickets also include night skiing. Alyeska does get a good amount of powder due to the fact that its an Alaskan Mountain Peak. If youre around it Mon-Thursday, Id definitely recommend.
