alyeska + backcountry ak
Submitted By: Drew

Overall impression of the riding: Alyeska is by far the best resort in the country. Even though it's small it packs in the best kung-POW to yen ratio. I have spent time riding in Colorado, Washington, Utah, Oregon, and California and nothing compares. The steeps are none to fu#@ with and the pow is plentiful. It's like Mt. Baker in 1998-99 without the rain. Try over 1,000 inches in a season. If you haven't been here then you ain't really been ridin and I'm sorry..... jackasses. If you want lift accessed backcountry come to Alyeska. No need for a terrain park or halfpipe because the natural hits are endless...like your mom's panty drawer.
