Another front has hit Alyeska Resort causing more mountain closures.
Alyeska Resort will continue to be CLOSED to skiing and riding this Saturday & Sunday (November 24th and 25th) due to unstable snow pack, high winds and high avalanche conditions.
We plan to reassess skiing and riding conditions throughout the week to re-open lift operations next Saturday and Sunday (December 1st & 2nd).
Current temps are 37 degrees at the base, 33 at midway, and 30 at the top.
Mother Nature has brought 218" of new snow at the top since November 1, plus an additional 40" in October. That brings our snow depth totals to patchy at the base, 44" midway, and 122" at the top. The precipitation on top has been in the form of heavy snow falling 3" per hour, while the base is getting hit hard with rain.
In the interest of public safety feel it is necessary to close the mountain to public access for this weekend (November 24th & 25th). We apologize for any inconvenience and will continue to work hard getting the mountain prepared for next weekend.
Sincerely,
Alyeska Resort Management Company
