I'm not, but my family lives all around Alaska. Also, two of my floor mates are from anchorage..

I learned to ski at Hilltop wayyy back in the day.. Now when I visit, I ski Alyeska or Hilltop just because its so damn close and its fun to go and just fuck around

Me. I'm from Girdwood where Alyeska is at. It's sweet living here in the winter with the mountain just walking distance away.

I grew up there and was there over winter break. If by groomer days you mean 10 minute hike to slack country pow, then yes. Rarely has there not been pow in benches, and if its not there, it's out of bounds
