Having been a moderate skier back in Washington growing up, but in a bizarre twist of moving to Alaska (the great white north) and having NEVER ski'd since the relocation, I decided it was time to put Alyeska to the test. In part one I head down the Seward Highway for a little ski adventure . . . ah, but it's more than just skiing.

Check out the Spa at Alyeska, where you can get a massage, sit in the manicure/pedicure table, soak up aroma therapy, and even do a romantic couples massage. Hungry? Got ya covered. I'm heading off to the Sitzmark for some HALITBUT TACOS and a night of jamming music.

But let's not forget the skiing. Check out the BEAUTIFUL conditions that I encountered above that crazy fog we had last week. You even get to see some "ski-blog-cam" action. Be careful, if you expand your screen, you may just feel like you're skiing! Bundle up!
