Not everyone knows how to ski or snowboard but it is a popular activity in the winter. Their is a nice ski resort about 45 minutes away from Anchorage. It is always busy, especially on the weekends the resort is called Alyeska. I go skiing here only 2 times a year because the tickets are very expensive but I have so much fun every time I go. Their is a small area with a chair lift to downhill ski in the city and it is called Hill Top. Hill Top is very close to my brother's school. For Christmas every year my parents buy him a season pass and he goes skiing almost every day after school.
Public schools do not have a down hill ski team, but cross country skiing is a very popular sport to compete in high school. Their season is the longest season out of any other sport. They start at the beginning on November and end in March. People dedicated to cross country skiing go roller skiing in the summers. This is cross country skis with wheels on the bottom.
FUN FACT: You can see the ocean from Alyeska Resort!!!
