Another winter, Another GREAT crew!

We are a couple of months in to the winter season, and it has been fantastic!  The snow conditions are the best they've been in a few years.  
Seriously, if you haven't come out to Alyeska Resort this season, you are missing out.

Night crew is in the house every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. All smiles!

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.

Looking down on a sea of clouds.

Fresh tracks

Fun in the sun, even in the depths of winter

Lift Ops Training

Lift ops crew was busy getting trained up this past week.

Putting the sign up at the base of the Magic Carpet.  An annual event.

Getting ready for our first ride up Ted's Express!

Heading up the brand new lift.

Almost to the base of lift 6 in less than 5 minutes!

Electricians, Brad and Eric, have been connecting the mountains lights to the towers. The new lights strike significantly faster than the old ones.

Checking out the new "Jettway" that bypasses the base of lift 6.

Unloading at the top in just about 5 minutes!

Group photo at the top.

What a nice looking lift!

We are looking forward to a great winter!
