The drive up to the resort is supposed to be spectacular, with many places to stop so you can take pictures for Anchorage, Cook Inlet and Mt. McKinley. Once you’re there, it is a pretty decent ski area. The highest point,Rendezvous Peak, is 1200 meters high, an elevation of almost 500 meters from the base area. This place is thought of as an economical or ‘ grass roots’ ski alternative compared to more expensive places around Alaska. You don’t necessarily have to ski. How about sliding down a snowy slope on a tube at the Tube Park? There are also various trails around the resort, perfect to hike in the summer.. View the trail map on the resort website. The four mile Rendezsous Peak is the most popular of them.
