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.

A strong atmospheric storm is bringing really good snowfall totals to many areas on the Left Coast through the middle of this week, marking the US’s return to proper winter. Some serious totals will be found across the region, starting in the PNW and Sierras, and moving across the whole region. Snowfall totals by the end of this week could be as high as 2ft in the PNW and Tetons, a foot-and-a-half across Utah, and a foot across Colorado.
Things turn drier once again into the weekend.
A really cold start to this week sees overnight highs of -20°C, warming to -10°C on the Ice Coast. Cloud will dominate, with a few flurries of snow – especially over the weekend – that will work to freshen up slopes in the region.
