Loading and Unloading Bikes at Alyeska Resort

This is a quick video I made of what loading and unloading bike looks like at Alyeska Resort.
As you can see, it is quite simple!

End of Night Mountain Ops

The last shift of night ops was awesome, as usual.  The crowds were out and happy!

The snow is so deep this winter, we have to maintain the areas under the lifts so peoples' gear doesn't drag.

Sharp, spring shadow.

Riding through midway with Danny and Ashley as the attendants.

Looking back on midway.

The weather was just perfect.

704" at Alyeska Resort, so far...

Matt S. and Jesse take control of the tools at the top of 6.

Ben and I hustled some snow at the top of Tanaka.

Gotta love the million dollar view from the top.

Jen D., Events Co-odinator for the mountainside, took me on a North Face rally.

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.

More Media Coverage of Downhill Biking at Alyeska

Opening the mountain to tram accessed downhill biking has been quite a big deal! Check out this video and article from the Anchorage Daily News. I have to add, for the record, that Karl's last name is Mittlestadt. The video is 8 minutes long, but it is worth it. You might be surprised where the trail goes at about minute 5.

It looks like summer around here!

Surprise Pow Afternoon

It snowed 4-6" this morning, then cleared in the afternoon. Karl came out and groomed race trail for tonight's town league races.
While skiing with friend (and former lifty/ trammy) Sarah, we ran into Katie and Sam from night crew.
The sunset was amazing.
It was fun to get out for some runs with my friend, and the conditions were superb.
Watch Karl drive the cat right under us:
