Arctic Valley Ski Area

Arctic Valley Ski Area in Anchorage, Alaska, grew from the Anchorage Ski Club, founded in 1937 by Al Corey and Ralph Soberg, and opened in 1949 as a community-focused local mountain rather than a destination resort. Located in Chugach State Park in the upper Ship Creek valley, it is one of Anchorage’s closest downhill ski areas and the only multiple-chair ski area within 20 miles of the city. Covering nearly 500 acres, it rises from about 2,500 feet to nearly 4,000 feet at Rendezvous Peak and includes two chair lifts, a platter lift, a rope tow, and four bowls. Since 2012, it has also featured a public tubing park.
