Enjoy A Great Ski Vacation In Alaska

Alaska has always been considered a source of mystery and awe, but it also has some of the best skiing available in the world. Alyeska Resort is one of the top resorts in the state. It has a top elevation of 2751 feet and a 2501 drop vertically, as well getting an average of 631 inches of snow every year.

Even though you will find some of the best skiing in the world at Alyeska Resort, you will not find crowded slopes and long lift lines. There are six chair lifts and two surface lifts, as well as one cable car line. The resort also has trails for beginners, intermediates, and experts, although the majority of the 68 trails are for intermediate skiers.

If you like adventure and thrills, you can get it at Alyeska Resort during the night time skiing. You can also check out the hanging glaciers, Northern Lights, and the snow capped mountains. Skiing Magazine rates this resort as number nine in the top twenty-five killer skiing trips.

Mid-November through mid-April is when the season is open at the Alyeska Resort. The longest daytime area in the United States is in this part of Alaska, with almost sixteen hours of daylight each day during the month of April. In December, however, there are only about seven hours of daylight, which makes nighttime skiing a necessity, especially if you want to spend a lot of time on the slopes.

The place to stay is The Alyeska Prince Hotel. You will be thrilled with the fine dining and elegant, well-appointed rooms. Also available is nightly entertainment. Other nightlife activities are located around the hotel, but are not directly affiliated with the hotel.

Glacier Tubing Park is a must-see if you enjoy tubing. With two lanes of tubing fun and a surface life, every member of your family will have fun at this tubing park. Snowboarders will love The Alyeska Terrain Park. If you enjoy other winter activities, like flight-seeing, helisking, ocean cruising, dog sledding, ice climbing, back-country skiing, mountaineering, or polar bear viewing, you are sure to find it at the Alyeska Resort.

The ultimate winter vacation can be experienced at the Alyeska Resort. You can brave the elements and then go back to the hotel for some pampering. You will enjoy getting a taste of what Alaska is like and what skiing is meant to be. Every member of your family will find something to enjoy at the many different area sights and attractions. If you are looking for an awesome winter family ski vacation, then this is it!
