Forecast today: Rather cloudy
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.

Seriously good mid-winter conditions are hammering Utah and Colorado through the beginning of this week after dumping serious total of at least a foot across the Sierras and Tahoe to conclude the weekend. Up to two feet in total can be expected across many areas on the US Left Coast, with only the PNW missing out on this. Snow is forecast to be light and fluffy, seeing a return to true mid-winter conditions in many places.
As the week continues, conditions return to spring, warming and turning sunny for many.
On the Ice Coast, a cold start to the week brings a burst of snow on Wednesday evening, before mild conditions bring rain and sun to many. A brief flurry of snow precedes more rain into the weekend as condition remain mild.
