Conditions Report
Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! It’s our second day of operation for skiing & snowboarding this season, and the tropical weather continues. At the lodge this morning, the temperature is 36 degrees, and winds are very light, at 0-5 mph. We refreshed base area grooming this morning.
We’ll have our normal weekday operations going today, with the T-bar and Chair 1 spinning from 10:30-4. The handle tow will be open today as soon as possible – we’re finishing up a repair on it this morning. There will be an announcement in our social media stories when it’s open.
Ski & snowboard rentals are available today. We do have one snowboard lessons available today from 11:45-12:45. That is available for purchase at the ticket counter, or give us a call at 907-301-1031 to book.
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: Monday January 19th
Arctic Valley Road was graded Friday night (Jan 17) is in good winter driving condition. We are sanding the top section of road into our parking lots as that’s a bit slick due to the warm weather the past day and a half. We always recommend AWD/4WD vehicles well equipped for winter travel. Please follow the speed limits and 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.
