This is not meant to be a comprehensive page – but I have friends making a quick trip to Alaska and I’m putting a few resources up here. Back to If I Had 3 Days page.

Anchorage and surroundings – groomed skiing. I made a fairly long page about skiing in Anchorage a number of years ago for a club meeting. Long-winded, but most of the information is still current: Anchorage skiing.

Anchorage and surroundings – back country skiing. Prospect Heights trailhead is at the edge of town and usually has spring skiing.

Fairbanks – There are two main trail systems: Birch Hill (The James Whisenhant … ) and the University trails.

Seward – road trip from Anchorage. A beautiful 130 mile drive from Anchorage. Stop at the parking area on the East side of the highway in Turnagain pass and ski for a bit through the woods. Follow someone else’s tracks for a ways, or make your own. Stop at the Seward ski trails (trail reports) for a quick loop and then on into town for a walk on the beach (Lowell Point Beach Access) and halibut and chips at a harbor (or downtown restaurant).
