When you think of Alaska skiing the first thing that pops up in your mind is more likely than not the death defying lines in ski movies. While that is part of the Alaska skiing experience (if that's what you're in AK for) there's another side to Alaska skiing at Alyeska. Big, open bowls with untracked snow that can last for days and a view that is to die for. The weather is always a concern when skiing in Alaska, which is why when your heli bump is on weather hold you head up the tram to get a few laps in.
What's it like to ski at sea level? To literally make a turn and have Prince William Sound right below as if you're skiing into an infinity pool. Is it the fresh Alaska air or the humbling experience of being surrounded by nothing but big mountains that makes Alyeska feel like a dream? If you're making a trip out to Alaska to ski its safe to assume you're probably at the very worst an intermediate skier. No need to worry about not being an expert skier at Alyeska while there is expert terrain we found Alyeska to be quiet approachable.
