Does anybody have any idea how close Skeetawk is to building the upper mountain chairlifts?
I spent a night earlier this summer at the Hatcher Pass Lodge, and the pictures hanging up in the dining area of the area in winter look absolutely stunning. The whole area up there is basically all above treeline. The Talkeetna Mountains are far from the tallest in Alaska, but boy are they beautifully craggy and dramatic looking. Some day, probably far in the future, I want to come back and visit Alaska in the winter and both do some heli-skiing and also some backcountry skiing out of places like Hatcher Pass and Turnagain Pass.
