The seasons are changing🌬️
The shift to winter is underway here in Girdwood. Snow is dusting the surrounding peaks, crisp autumn air is settling into the valley, and daylight is getting shorter by the day. The seasons are changing, and winter is just around the corner.
Today is your final chance to ride the Alyeska Aerial Tram this season! We’re closing out the summer season with our annual Canned Food Drive. Bring two non-perishable or canned food items to the Alyeska Mountain Sports Shop and exchange them for a complimentary tram ride while taking in those views of the Turnagain Arm and the snow-capped mountains.
Winter is coming. We’ll see you for opening day, November 28!
Today’s Forecast: The National Weather Service is calling for 5mph winds, cloudy skies, rain showers, & a high temp near 43*
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 ⚠️
Hiking: Mountain hiking trails are open! Please note that The Race Trail Route is CLOSED while our snowmaking upgrade project continues. The routes to the top of the tram are the North Face Trail and the Bowl Route. Click here for further details.
