"Alaska is known for its epic backcountry skiing and snowboarding, with huge lines accessible by touring, snowmobile, and helicopter, but its ski resorts have plenty of gnarly terrain to offer as well. The state's biggest resorts are quite a bit smaller than many of those in the United States, but they make up for it with great snow, incredible views, and killer lines. These are Alaska's 5 largest ski resorts."
