NW U.S./Alaska Travel

» Alan Sorum - Alyeska

Alyeska has had a record 283 inches of snow in December. Currently they are nearing 339 inches or approximately 30 feet. The only place that has had more snow is my hometown of Valdez, Alaska. We had about five feet of the stuff in as many days.

Alyeska is a great ski resort and should be even better with its new owner, Cirque Property, lead by John Byrne and Don McLean. They plan to introduce new terrain, increase lifts, and improve backcountry skiing.

Wow! We need some powder in Sun Valley! I'm jealous...

I have to admit, the idea of skiing Alaska has always been held the back of my mind because of the cold weather. Now, that it has been freezing here (literally) and I have been mulling skiing Alaska over: "Why not!" It is warmer in Alaska! Maybe next year...

Thanks,

Lynn

Are you living in Valdez now, Alan? I lived in Anchorage in 2000-2001. Alyeska is an awesome resort - though I never skied there I did visit it. Anchorage doesn't normally get a lot of inches in comparison.
