Fall is in the air 🍂

There’s something truly special about a sunny September day in Girdwood. Crisp autumn air, golden light, changing leaves, and the mountains putting on a show. Fall has officially arrived in the Chugach.

There’s still time to get out and enjoy the scenery from above. Take a ride on the Alyeska Aerial Tram for sweeping views of Turnagain Arm and the surrounding Chugach peaks, or rent a bike from our Mountain Concierge and explore the trails around Girdwood while the season winds down.

The Girdwood Trails Marathon returns on Saturday, October 3. Runners will take on a challenging course through the forests and trails of Girdwood, with the full marathon, half marathon, and 5K all starting and finishing at the Alyeska Daylodge. Whether you’re racing, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines, it’s another great reason to get outside and enjoy the trails. Next up, we’re opening the Sitzmark up for a special night of live music & line dancing with Jerry Wessling. Save the date & get all the details here.

Soak up the last days of fall sunshine, take in the changing scenery, and make the most of the season before winter arrives. Stop by our Mountain Concierge on the 2nd floor for activity recommendations and the latest conditions updates.

Today’s Forecast: The National Weather Service is calling for 5mph winds, cloudy skies, rain showers, & a high temp near 49*

Biking: The Bike Park is now closed for the season but there’s plenty of riding yet to be had. 
Lower Iditarod, Winner Creek, Beaver Pond, & the Bikewood trails are in excellent shape. Head out and go for a spin on some loam. Bike rentals are available through the Mountain Concierge to get you rolling. In case gravity is still calling your name, you can still ride the bike park trails without the lifts. Grab your uphill pass and get to shredding.
Head’s up riders – our mountain bike trails are currently being winterized. Please watch for changing conditions and exercise caution while recreating out there ⚠️
