Ski Resort in Fairbanks

For a one of a kind ski experience in Alaska, head to Moose Mountain in Fairbanks. There is more than 1,200-feet of vertical terrain, and it includes everything from moderate bunny slopes to steep, challenging skiing. Conquering the North Slope is a badge of honor in these parts. Due to the way the mountain is situated, skiers are not exposed to the strong Northeast winds that blow through the area. There is also plenty of sun every day, so the temperature ends up being about 20-30 warmer on the slopes than it is in Fairbanks. This keeps you warm while still allowing for plenty of un-melted powder. There lift at Moose Mountain is a variable capacity turbo charged tram. These are described as buses with ski racks. They move fast, which gets you up the hill quickly, allowing for as much downhill time as possible. For those who plan several trips each year to Moose Mountain, or those who fall in love and do not want to leave, there are properties for sale on the mountain. The resort is open 10 am to 4 pm from November to February every day except during winter solstice when the darkness requires the resort to close at 3 pm. In March and April, you can ski from 11 am until pm.
