Mt. Eyak Ski Area

Abouts Us:

Mt Eyak Ski Area offers alpine skiing and snowboarding on Mt Eyak above the town of Cordova, Alaska. Mt Eyak uses an historic 1939 American Steel and Wire single chair lift, as well as a rope tow on the beginner slope. The base elevation is 400 feet, rising to 1200 feet at the top of the single lift, for a vertical drop of 800 feet. The annual snowfall averages 350".  With approximately 30 different trail options, including a new easy trail down the hill, the area offers something for everyone! The mountain offers 20% Easy, 60% More difficult and 20% Most Difficult trail ratings. Trail ratings indicate the relative difficulty of the runs within the given ski area and are not meant to be used for comparison between ski areas. Hours of operation vary due to sunlight hours.

The Mt Eyak Ski Resort is operated by Sheridan Alpine Association, a non-profit corporation with a volunteer board in cooperation with the City of Cordova.

Mt. Eyak Ski Area has a full service rental shop and food service is available at the Snack Shack. We operate from December thru April on weekends, holidays and of course on most powder days. During the summer months, the area is a favorite area for hikers and is also the venue for the annual Salmon Jam, Cordova's annual salmon celebration!
