| Welcome to Glacier City - Girdwood, Alaska, and Mt. Alyeska, where winter sports and activities abound. Snow is consistent and deep at Hotel Alyeska, making it one of the number one ski resorts in North America. It is not uncommon for three feet of snow to fall around Girdwood during the course of one storm. Girdwood means fresh, deep powder and lots of fun! |
|
| |
| Dancing Bears Nightly Rental is located right across the street from the chairlifts of Alyeska Resort. You can't get any closer anywhere in Girdwood. World class skiing and snowboarding are just a stone’s throw away, with Alyeska Resort receiving some of the best snow in North America. There are plenty of back-country skiing and snowboarding adventures to be had too, with heli-skiing and cat-skiing also available. |
|
|
| Venture just two minutes from your front door for world class cross country skiing within the Chugach National Forest and Chugach State Park or explore the Girdwood valley or back-country on a snowshoeing tour. |

| Winter dog sledding is available in Girdwood's Moose Meadows, a short walk from our property. Try your hand at mushing the dogs yourself. Or hire your host, an experienced snow machine tour guide, to take you on a custom snowmobiling adventure in the back country. |
|
|
| Winter views around Girdwood are spectacular. Keep your eyes open after dark for the natural phenomenon of the northern lights. Book a flightseeing trip to take in the splendor of the surrounding mountain ranges, glaciers and Prince William Sound, or take the tram to the top of Mt. Alyeska and have a quality lunch with a truly awesome view of Glacier Valley, complete with snow-topped mountains and glaciers. |

| After a long day of winter adventures, why not unwind in our infrared sauna. Or go one step further and hire a professional massage therapist to ease your aching muscles with a deep tissue massage. |
