To keep our spring riding going, we need your help! It costs about $12,000 to operate the ski area for the weekend. To be the last ski area open in Alaska on May 4th, we need your help! Bring your friends, buy your season pass for next year, and have a pretzel and beer on the deck!
Our annual Season Pass Sale is on! Buy now and ride the rest of this season free, and next year at this year’s prices! Buy online or at the ticket counter.
Arctic Valley is closed for inbounds uphill travel. The trail up the saddle is in for those wanting to ski off of Mt Gordon-Lyon. Please respect the ski area boundaries.

Road Conditions
Updated: Saturday April 20th
Arctic Valley Road is melted out. Please be wary potholes and muddy sections, and try to avoid driving through mud and making it worse.
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.
