Snow Report
Updated Friday March 28th
New snow last 24 hours: 0″
New snow since last week: 0″
Total snow depth: 30+”
Update 1:00: The T-bar is open! Thanks to our lift mechanics for all their hard work since Sunday to get the lift operational again.
Original post: Looks like it’ll be another beautiful day at Arctic Valley! The sun is just coming over the mountain at 11:30am, and the temperature is just above freezing at the lodge. Look for some great turns this afternoon as the temps and sun warm up the snow.
Chair 1 will spin from 1-7:30 today. Note that we’re still working on the T-bar – we do anticipate operating it today but most likely it will be a delayed opening. Ski & snowboard rentals are available today. The kitchen is open until 7:15, and last call at the Afterglow is 7:45.
Come enjoy a beautiful day in the mountains! This is prime time for our last two hour ticket (5:30-7:30) as the snow will be nice and soft this evening.
We’re also open for snow tubing! Sessions are at 1:30, 3:00, 5:00, and 6:30. There are plenty of tickets available for each session. Buy your tickets at https://arcticvalley.org/winter/tubing/ or at the ticket counter.
Note for backcountry skiers & riders: Ski area boundaries are closed for uphill travel. The areas north of Toklat Creek are always open for backcountry travel, and are accessed from the hiking kiosk in the parking lot. No rescue services are available, and no snow safety activities are being performed. Be prepared for thin coverage, hidden obstacles, open water, and avalanche conditions. TRAVEL AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Road Conditions
Updated: Thursday March 27th
Arctic Valley Road is melted out. Be cautious in muddy areas – try to drive around instead of through them. Note that parking lots may still be slick.
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.
