Alyeska Ski Resort, USA
Off the beaten track with incredible snow records
Alaska is generally seen as the ultimate skiing experience, and it is easy to see why! With an average snowfall of over 60ft, this is the snow capital of the world and a must for those seeking high quality powder. The resort itself is situated just 40 miles from Anchorage meaning a fairly short transfer to this white wonderland. Once off the slopes there is still a lot to do with 20 shops, 14 restaurants and 10 bars to let you relax and enjoy the view of the surrounding glaciers, wildlife and take in the incredible Northern Lights.
