City Walks - Alyeska Resort in Girdwood Alaska Walking Tour - Virtual Treadmill Hiking Trail

#ALASKA #walkingtour #CITYWALKS #virtualwalk #treadmillworkout #treadmillscenery #virtualtreadmill
Our last Alaska walk takes place at Alyeska Resort. It's a ski resort and mountain in Girdwood, AK which is about 45 minutes from Anchorage with great views of the Turnagain Arm and from the top of which you can get great views of the Bore Tide coming in. I'm not sure how people ski this mountain. Theirs no way I could but I think there are some gentler slopes on another part of the mountain. We had a bit of rain as we start at the top of the Gondola station, walk through the dining area, and take a minute to actually find the trail. Then it's a STEEP walk down to the Alyeska resort hotel. I hope you enjoy our virtual treadmill walk down the mountain all the great views up the valley. -H

Alyeska Resort is a ski resort in the Girdwood area of Anchorage, Alaska, approximately 30 miles (44 km) from downtown Anchorage. Mount Alyeska is part of the Chugach mountain range and the Alyeska Resort is the largest ski area in the state. It includes the mountaintop Mt. Alyeska Roundhouse, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

he Alyeska Ski Corporation was founded in 1954, and the first chairlift and day lodge were opened in 1959. The Roundhouse ski lodge and ski patrol station at the top of the mountain began construction in 1960. It is an octagonal building. Still standing, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as "Mt. Alyeska Roundhouse" in 2003, and now houses a museum to local ski history.

Currently, Alyeska has five chairlifts, one high-speed tram, and two Magic Carpets. Of the five chairlifts, one is co-owned by Alyeska and the Tanaka Foundation (Chair 5). Chairs 6 and 4 are high-speed detachable quads, while Chairs 7 and 3 are normal quads. Chair 4 was updated to a high speed quad in 2012. A sixth chairlift, Chair 1, was removed from service in the summer of 2017.

Chair 4 ends halfway up the mountain. The tram ends three-quarters of the way up the mountain. The interconnected buildings contain the Roundhouse (patrol quarters), and a much newer facility housing the upper tram terminal, a quick-service cafeteria, and the Seven Glaciers 4-star restaurant and bar. At the base of the tram is the modern 300-room Hotel Alyeska.

Chair 6 goes to the highest lift served point on the mountain at 2,750 feet (840 m). Several areas above Chair 6 are occasionally opened, but require hiking to access. Plans to build a new chair lift higher up the mountain have been announced.

Mount Alyeska is a fairly challenging mountain, and has a much higher percentage of advanced and expert runs, as compared to most other mountains in North America. It has a small section for the novice, but the rest of the mountain is almost entirely for the intermediate and the advanced skiers.
