About this forecast
Alyeska Resort is a ski resort in Alaska with a base at 250 ft and a summit at 3,939 ft, 3,689 ft of vertical. This page checks NOAA's hourly forecast at the base and the summit every time you load it and works out the wet-bulb temperature, which is what decides whether snow guns can run. Snowmakers can start below 28°F−2°C wet-bulb, and make good snow below 25°F−4°C.
Base: NOAA's forecast for the base area (forecast grid elevation 197 ft). Summit: estimated from the base forecast with typical cooling by elevation; on calm, clear nights cold air can pool at the base instead.
