It’s mid May and Alyeska ski resort in Girdwood, AK just had a casual 40” storm roll thru. Yep, you read that right, 40 inches of new snow in 3 days at Alyeska. May is considered a powder month in AK and this year it’s holding true.
Alyeska has gotten 895” of snow this season…and counting.
They currently have a 196” base up top. damn.
The recent monster storm created high enough avalanche danger to close the resort today. They are going to re-evaluate things tomorrow and try to get open the next two days.
“Alyeska Ski Resort is closed to skiing & riding today, Friday May 11th due to high avalanche spring conditions. We will evaluate today to see about opening for Saturday & Sunday. Please stay tuned.” – Alyeska ski resort
Alyeska is open for skiing and riding every Friday, Saturday and Sunday of May (weather permitting).
