Snow Report
Updated Saturday February 2nd
New snow last 24 hours: 0″
New snow since last week: 20?”
Total snow depth: 30+”
It’s our first Sunday of the season! Join us today for some beautiful skiing & riding – skies are clear, winds are low, and the inversion is hopping. It’s +21F at the lodge, and a tropical +28F at the top of Chair 2.
Everyone who came up yesterday did their best to cut up the wind board from Thursday’s wind, so expect some choppy loose off trail riding, good snow in Shooter, A-Gully, and over next to the alders off Chair 1. Ptarmigan Bowl was groomed Friday night/Saturday morning, and we refreshed the base area grooming this morning.
We will not have rentals available today, sorry for the inconvenience.
Note for backcountry skiers & riders: Ski area boundaries are now 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: Saturday February 2nd
Arctic Valley Road is in good winter driving condition. As always, we recommend 4WD/AWD, and please exercise caution.
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.
