Area Information

Rising from sea level, Mount Alyeska offers 2,500 feet of vertical challenge. Wide-open bowls and long top-to-bottom runs are sure to please the intermediate, while open slope terrain is ideal for the beginners. Alyeska boast state-of-the-art lifts, plenty of oxygen, 2,000 vertical feet of night lighting and more daylight hours than any other U.S. ski area beginning in mid-February. An expert's dream, the North Face rises 2,000 vertical feet from the base of the Alyeska tramway. A quick ride to the top and you're ready for an in-bounds backcountry experience and some big-mountain carving. A series of ridges with plenty of chutes and gullies and steep open slopes make up this double black diamond terrain. Located just 40 miles south of Anchorage, Alyeska Resort is possibly the best-keep secret in the Northwest. This is home base to several US Ski Team members including Olympic Downhill Gold Medallist Tommy Moe. In fact, there are two FIS approved downhill courses at The Alyeska Resort, making this truly a world-class ski area.

Alyeska is an Aleut Indian word meaning 'the great land,' and it is the source of the name Alaska.

Alyeska Resort is home to the luxurious 307-room Westin Alyeska Prince Hotel. The chateau-style hotel features award-winning cuisine in a variety of restaurants, a 60 passenger aerial tramway that transports visitors 2,000 feet above the valley floor for skiing, dining and sightseeing, and an array of recreational activities for all ability levels.
