I started skiing at Alyeska when I was 12 years old. It's my favorite place to downhill ski. I love the view of the inlet waters from the mountain and if you are there on a clear powder day its the best.

While alyeska is fun, if you’re going to Alaska, the backcountry is where you want to be. Tours are available with guides or heli/cat skiing also.

Amazing peaks and glaciers all around!
The lifts are decent. I haven’t had a meal there, so can’t say much.
