Join us for a closing day party on Saturday, May 2nd!
We made it! With your support, help from our employees, and an assist from mother nature, we’re riding one more day this season – Saturday May 2nd. Lifts will spin 12pm-6pm, we’ll try to eat all the food and drink all the beer, and celebrate with Hot Dish rocking the Afterglow Pub from 3:30-6:30!

• Road Conditions
Updated: Saturday May 2nd
Arctic Valley Road is melted out to our parking lots. 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.
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.
For questions, please contact us at info@arcticvalley.org (Wed-Sun) or 907-301-1031 (Thu-Sun).
