Alyeska Resort Ski Accommodation (*****)

The Alyeska Prince Hotel provides luxury accommodation at the ski resorts tram base. The tram zips-up 2.028 ft. of Alyeska's 2.500 ft rise in just 3.5 minutes, rising over the forested lower half to the glaciers and open bowls near the summit and providing a birds-eye view of the mountains two faces, the original main face and the North Face. By mid-February Alyeska boasts more daylight hours than any other ski area in North America. This is a real bonus for late night revelers: Lifts don't open until 10:30 am, meaning you can sleep, have breakfast and get first tracks. Normal skiing closing time is around 5:30 pm, but on Friday and Saturday the lifts remain open to 9:30 pm. Details on our Alyeska Tour Packages
