"An hour from downtown in Girdwood and reachable via the scenic Seward Highway, Alyeska Resort is known for steep, deep skiing (including the country's longest continuous double-black-diamond run), an aerial tram that brings visitors to mountaintop views and two restaurants, and Alaska's first Nordic Spa with a circuit of plunge pools, hot tubs, multiple saunas (Finnish, barrel, Himalayan rock salt, Russian banya), a steam room, an exfoliation cabin, and spa treatments such as a recommended Nordic massage that combines warming and cooling elements." - Bailey Berg
