Just returned from Alyeska Resort at Girdwood, just outside of Anchorage. This small village ski resort was great. The weater was perfect, mid to low 20's and tons of snow. Went snowmobiling and dog sledding. Expense but worth the $200 each. Did some driving about, but roads while fairly clear had some ice. Hotel.com provided the typical $120 all inclusive room rate (rack inclusive was about $220). Got a good $500 deal on NWA and used 30K FF to upgrade to First (worth it on the 7 hour total flights). Girdwood had some ok food, but Kincaids near the Anchorage airport was excellent!
