Skeetawk

Had the pleasure of experiencing their Cat Skiing last weekend. Fantastic and great fun. Max and Stephen were incredible guides. Has a great mix of off-piste as well as groomed runs, all reserved for the cat skiing group. Will be back for sure

Amazing place to ski, just outside of Palmer, AK. We took ski lessons from Melinda and she was fantastic. We learned to ski and felt comfortable, after never skiing before. She was so great! Recommend a lesson with her. The hills are great and everyone was so nice! Great place to check out. Loved the time we were able to spend here.

This mountain is a gem and should be treated that way. Core riders and skiers enjoying the funniest runs I've ever experienced for a smaller Mountain. Displace will only get better as they add lifts.

There just starting but what a spot for sure. And the hidden gem is the food truck. If you want some of the best food I've ever had in my life . Trucks name Kings of the Mountain. And If you can bring an appetite you won't be disappointed.

We enjoyed skiing at Skeetawk last year so we thought we'd give it a try again this year. The mountain, lodge, and staff are all great and we really want to love it but Skeetawk suffers from the same issues that all non-profit mountains in Alaska suffer from. The customer experience here is awful just like it is at Hilltop. Nobody manages the lines and the skier load has just outpaced lift capacity in just a few short years. There are almost no skiers up on the mountain because they are all in line waiting while 2 seat (3 seat capacity) loads go up the mountain. We won't buy another lift ticket until something is figured out to get skiers up the hill.

Finally a ski resort and nicely lited in 1 of the most beautiful Places on Earth. HATCHERS PASS LITTLE SUSITNA RIVER ..HOPING THEY EXPAND. ✌ Jonathan Wyrick

Super friendly staff. My wife and I needed help to get ski gear rental. The staff assisted us to put on our ski boots (and remove them) since my wife and I are beginners. There is even a huge section for beginners to practice. Awesome staff!!! Awesome place!!!

Great little place to ski! Love the price, love the proximity, love the staff. It is a smaller ski area (for now) with only one chair lift. There are black diamond runs but they’re more technical than steep, so not the most adventurous mountain for now. The mountain may be small and the runs short, but the ski line moves quickly so you don’t have to wait for too long. Plus they have night skiing which is essential for Alaska. I hope that Skeetawk makes it to phase 3 and beyond! I went in December 2023 and finally wrote my review now.

Skeetawk is such an amazing place. Everyone is so friendly, and the location is perfect for people in the valley. Our family goes here like three times a week. Easily 5 stars

There are still a lot of people that don't realize we finally have a chair lift in Hatcher Pass for skiing and snowboarding!! In its second season, it's getting busier and busier all the time. My dad bought a season pass and is definitely working towards getting his money's worth and I'm not far behind. If you're familiar with the different resorts around the area, I'd say that as it sits right now, Skeetawk is a mix between Hilltop and Arctic Valley... or Alpenglow if you're not as old school as I am. Anywho... At only 300 vertical feet and I believe 30 chairs on the lift, its a fun ride! It also beats hitchhiking back up the mountain road. As of right now, the offer porta-potties, which is a bit uncomfortable to say the least. A two story yurt houses the newly opened ski rental, which unfortunately, at this time does not offer snowboards. They're working on getting more gear, instructors and tuning... all of which, especially the latter two are quite important and sparse. As for the people... for the most part, pretty cool folks working up there... cashiers, lift attendants and patrol! I'm not going to throw anyone down the hill and bash them, but some could be a bit friendlier... well, one in particular in leadership. It seemed that if you weren't in her age group, not in her circle or something... I can't quite put my finger on why, but it came across that she just didn't care about you, your ability or what you had to offer, even to the conversation at hand. In making suggestions to reach out for a couple different things, I felt a bit of a cold shoulder, which is indeed a turn off when you're local and wanting to get to know people with similar interests and promote a new hill.... even if the only similarity is winter downhill recreation. It is what it is... and I don't see myself joining in on the conversation again. They have a long way to go... and need a lot of money to get there, but for now, it's worth it to go. It's a quick trip from my house, doesn't break the bank and is even nostalgic for those of us that rode backcountry up there and stayed at the Motherload back in the day.
