A rental car is the most practical means for getting to Girdwood. If you will only ski, however, you may be able to take a shuttle; call the resort before you come. The Girdwood Chamber of Commerce maintains a website at www.girdwoodalaska.com. For more guidance, check the Anchorage visitor information.
Ski Conditions -- The rainforest of Girdwood and the dry Anchorage bowl often have different weather, despite being within the same municipality. Before heading down the road for a day of skiing, check out the conditions. Call tel. 907/SKI-SNOW (754-7669) for snow, weather, and visibility conditions, or check that information online at www.alyeskaresort.com. For visibility from below, check out the cam at www.chairfive.com.
