History
The Anchorage Ski Club was founded in 1937 by Al Corey and Ralph Soberg. Arctic Valley Ski Area was opened by the group in 1949.[2] The Army used to operate an adjacent ski area just south of the current facilities, which was removed in the early 2000s. The Anchorage Ski Club also has an area use permit for additional neighboring acreage in Chugach State Park.
Arctic Valley is the only multiple-chair ski area located within Script error: No such module "convert". of Anchorage.
In 2012, Arctic Valley opened a tubing park serviced by a pony tow lift. This is the only tubing park open to the general public in southcentral Alaska.
