Recent snowfall took the resort past a remarkable milestone – the first resort in North America to surpass 600″. That’s 50 feet of fresh snow this season. Incredible…

600″. 50-feet. That’s enough to bury a Brachiosaurus. Or ten Danny DeVitos. Or the Hollywood sign.

Alyeska has exceeded 600″ four times in the last 10 years. In 2007/08, they reported 875″ of snow, 2009/10 880″, 2015/16 826″, and in 2021/22 848″.

The world record for a ski area is 1,140″ at Mt. Baker ski area, WA, in 1998/99.
