Alyeska

Built around the slopes developed for Alyeska Resort, Alyeska grew into a year-round mountain base above Turnagain Arm on Alaska’s south-central coast. The resort sits in the Chugach Mountains, where winter skiing gives way to summer hiking and terrain rises sharply from the arm’s tidal shoreline. Alyeska Resort opened in 1954 and remains one of Alaska’s best-known ski destinations; its aerial tramway links the base area with Mount Alyeska. Nearby Girdwood provides the local community setting, with the annual Girdwood Forest Fair bringing artists, musicians and food stalls together each summer.
