Alyeska is not only home to some of the best skiing views around, but it receives an incredible 17m of snowfall each winter – making it one of the world's snowiest ski resorts.
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.
Getting to Alyeska
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.

USA
Updated 20/12
A slow and steady season looks to be on the cards for the USA, with continental high pressure continuing to box out influxes of low pressure off the Pacific keeping things generally mild and dry for this period. The Left Coast itself – including PNW and Sierras – will see temperatures at mid-mountain hovering around freezing, with a few bursts of snow coming in at times. This will be felt the best in the PNW, where Sunday and Monday could see about 10cm down.
Further inland, high pressure dominates, keeping things cold but otherwise fine, dry and bright for the Rockies and Tetons.
Out East, a bitterly cold snap moves through the region accompanied by a few floccons to keep things fresh over the weekends, with overnight lows of -30°C (-22°C) possible. Things improve as the Christmas week begins, with more sunshine and less cloud in store for this period, and temperatures climbing albeit staying cold – just less cold than the weekend!
