Beautiful Winter

Alyeska Resort is arguably one of the most scenic ski resorts in the world.  Here is just a sample of the beauty on display in the past few months.

Fantastic March at Alyeska Resort!

The Lead lift operators did a ski around a couple of weeks ago, just to make sure everyone is on the same page.

 It was good for the team.

Norman was stoked to run lift 1 for the last night of night operations.

 Super Grover (Shawn) was also on the scene!

 We had an end-of-night ops torchlight parade. It was super fun.

Then we had some serious snow days. On Tuesday, we had about 4 feet of fresh pow AND sunshine!

 The North Face was skiing great!

 From way out on the corner of the Autobahn.

A bit of a sundog indicates more weather or the horizon.

Great visibility on the North Face.

The bear statue at the hotel has some snow on him. Life's been good.

Fall is here!

Snowy winter at Alyeska Resort

There have been a lot of snowy days lately. Here is Cody, Jen and I riding up lift 4 last week.

Garrett, holding the bad tach band that was caught before opening by Matt and Michael this morning.

Nate and Kris did a lot of shoveling at the top of lift 4 today.

Karl, with the green cat, about 15 minutes before opening.

Neil did quite a bit of super scooping to get the top of 6 ready for opening.

Kelly and I on our way up 6 to enjoy the quick "Citation" (the first part of the High Traverse) opening.

The conditions were great on the North Face today.
