Skiing

With the waters of Cook Inlet so close, skiing adventures start close to sea level. But you'll still find thousands of vertical feet of powder-packed heaven. From the slopes of Hilltop Ski Area and Arctic Valley to the peak of Mount Alyeska jutting 3,923 feet up, Southcentral Alaska is a one-stop mecca for winter adventure.
