Hilltop ski area, Alaska - Skiing and Snowboarding

Hilltop ski area, Alaska

Great little local ski hill, fun for everyone. says an anonymous skier.

This ski hill has a moderate assortment of ski slopes and quite few ski lifts. All the 10 runs here are fine. Hilltop is a petite ski hill featuring a rather cozy elevation difference when compared to other west coast ski resorts. This ski resort obtains snowfall close to the local average each winter season. No other ski resort for 175 miles has a more sky-scraping elevation difference. You may be into skiing or snowboarding, or both, doesn't

    matter, this is a neighborhood with not too many other ski resorts for that. A 294 foot elevation difference is unsurprisingly not that much, but Hilltop has so many other great qualities. Having 30 acres of ski terrain, it makes for an intimate skiing experience.
This ski resort has a much lower than average fraction of demanding trails and a much higher than average part of intermediate or beginner ski slopes. All of the 3 good ski lifts are perfectly maintained and managed by welcoming folks. The seasonal snowfall of 8 feet keeps the slopes well covered through the ski season. There's a ski run map of Hilltop on this web page for your reference. There are several great hotel rooms in close proximity to the base area, but you'd better book ahead of going since these hotel rooms

fill up quickly. Skiing and snowboarding here in Alaska is a good thing to do every day of the ski season. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time in the fresh air are nice reasons to come. The wintertime in Alaska is so charming for skiing or snowboarding. You'll run into loads of skiers from Anchorage here.
