A few words on the Snow at Arctic Valley

Arctic Valley has no detail snow data, but we accept the published average of 250 inches snowfall. Its inland location near Anchorage is well leeward of the Chugach mountains, so half of Alyeska's snowfall seems reasonable.. The wide open terrain is all above tree line. Since Arctic Valley is only open weekends, powder can accumulate through the week.
