Alaska's Newest Ski Area

​

Down but not out! Lift Closure and Hike-to terrain. 

 

Skeetawk’s lift had a mechanical failure on 1/16/21. The lift will be closed until further diagnostics and repairs can be completed. Due to the nature of being in our first year of operations, we are consulting with the lift manufacturer on diagnostics and repairs which are currently ongoing. A plan is in place to repair the lift and the timeframe is dependent on weather, supply availability, and travel. At this point in time we will not have lift operations this weekend and remain on a to be determined status for normal operations. 

 

This weekend Skeetawk is committed to remain OPEN with alternative operations! Our parking lot will be open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. $5 parking fee (pay inside the yurt). Free parking for season pass holders and members.
