Conditions Report
It’s going to be another beautiful day! Forecast is mostly sunny, with a high of around 20° and winds 5 mph or so.
Ptarmigan Bowl was groomed Friday night, along with the base areas. The snow that fell earlier this week is still soft off-trail (though a little wind hammered at the top of the high traverse). Note that we have the Youth Ski League State Championship races today in the lower half of Ptarmigan Bowl.
The Alicia Viani Trio featuring Pete Kartsounes plays in the Afterglow Pub from 3:30-6:30 today!
We’re open Thursday through Sunday until mid-April with the T-bar, Chair 1, and handle tow spinning weekdays, and adding Chair 2 on weekends. Join us for great spring riding, uncrowded slopes, great food, and cold beer. Rentals are available all days we’re open, lessons are available on weekends.
Ski & snowboard rentals are available.
Note for backcountry users: We are closed to inbounds uphill travel. Access to Mt Gordon-Lyon will be through the normal trail, starting from the hiking kiosk in the upper parking lot across from the lodge. New this season, access to Ship Creek will start from the Marston Trailhead (across from the lower parking lot) and continue behind Chair 1. We will have signage and a rope line up this week to mark this route.

Road Conditions
Updated: Sunday March 22nd
Arctic Valley Road was plowed Thursday and is in good winter driving condition. AWD/4WD vehicles are always recommended. Please drive smart!
Below is the current schedule for military live fire exercises on Arctic Valley Road:
For most exercises, road guards will allow traffic to flow every 20-30 minutes in each direction. For some exercises, the waits may be 30-40 minutes. The road (unless noted above) should not be ‘closed’. If road guards are communicating longer wait times than those listed above, or telling you the road is closed, please call JBER Range Control at 907-384-6230 and report the issue. They will work to make sure the units conducting training are following the road access rules.
