“We are thrilled to expand into Alaska and invite the Ikon Pass community to discover Alyeska Resort,” Erik Forsell, the chief marketing officer of Alterra Mountain Company, shared. “Alyeska Resort is truly an iconic destination with its storied terrain, stunning views, scenic tram, and adventurous atmosphere.”
Situated under an hour’s drive from Anchorage, this mountain is easily accessible for those looking to shred in the nation’s 49th state. It offers a little fun for powder hounds of all levels but is particularly beloved by advanced skiers, as it’s home to the longest double black diamond run in the world.
