Saying goodbye to Chair 1

This summer is the end of an era at Alyeska Resort. Since chair 1 hadn't run in 2 years, and was not going to be loading guests or employees anymore, the resort decided to tear down the lift. Many people asked why we would do this, and the truth is that they don't make parts for these kinds of lifts anymore.

Spring Break is Here!

Spring break is here and Lift Ops is ready for the fun!

Mornings have been gorgeous with alpenglow on the surrounding mountains.

Sunshine funshine!

Night crew has you covered with ops every night March 9-18.
(The 18th will be the last night of night ops for the season.)

Fantastic views and sunsets await you.  We're hoping to see YOU this spring break!

Night Riding for Spring Break!

In case you haven't heard, Alyeska Resort will have night operations on the Bear Cub Quad, Ted's Express, Tram AND Lift 7 during spring break, March 9-18!
The 18th will be our last night of night ops for the season, so make sure to come out and enjoy it while you can.

Lift ops is ready for winter!

Alyeska Lift Operations just completed 4 days of intense training!  As you scroll down through the pics, notice how much the scenery changes in just a few days.  On day 1, there was no snow, but snowmaking was firing up for the first time for the season.  Then Mother Nature did her thing in conjunction with the man-made snow, and now we are looking ready for winter.

Yay for snow! We are ready to shovel!

Chair 1 will never run again, but we will continue to take group photos here until the lift is removed. It is such an important part of the Alyeska history!

Right now tentative opening day is November 24, Thanksgiving.

Winter at Alyeska Resort

Winter has finally made its way to Alyeska Resort, and we couldn't be happier!  From the Magic Carpets in the base area to the top of Glacier Bowl Express, skiing and snowboarding is on!

Learn to Ski and Snowboard month has been extended through February; and it is such a great deal!

Another great special is the ski free midweek when you stay at the hotel package.

One our 2 Magic Carpets, which is GREAT for beginners.

Happy lift ops hope you enjoy your day on the mountain.

The million dollar view that we'd love to share with you!

End of Summer at Alyeska Resort

It's been a while since I've posted here, and wanted to catch up.

Downhill biking has been going GREAT this summer! We've been far busier than the first and second season.  The trails are good, the weather has ben better than normal, and people are pumped to ride.

There have been some muddy/ rainy days, but the bikers are still ready to rally!

Berry picking in Girdwood valley was great this summer! So thankful for all the beautiful days we had this summer!

We're looking forward to a great summer season at Alyeska Resort!

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!

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.
