Alyeska...
Just got back from my first ski trip to Alyeska...actually was my first time skiing on a mountain. Kind of intimidating since I just learned to ski last year and haven't been skiing since then. But I survived and actually started to enjoy myself by the end of the day. Seemed as though the mountain had more Black and Double-Black diamonds runs than anything else. Even the "easy" runs were more than I would have preferred.
Alyeska is the only ski resort in the US with ocean views. I am not great skier so I don't have any worthy comments on the skiing...other than I had fun. It's a fun place to visit in the summer as well. The Tram to the top will provide great views of Turnagain arm and the mountians all around.
