Subscribe Past Issues Translate View this email in your browser MARCH 2019 Welcome to the Alyeska Ski Club E-News Congratulations to all the athletes representing Alyeska Ski Club in competitions in Alaska and the Lower 48! FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Alyeska Ski Club Board of Directors would like to congratulate all of our athletes that have participated in events and races over the past month. We have had athletes competing in IFSA, USSS and FIS events. Many of these events were key qualifiers to selections for outside regional and divisional competitions. We are very proud of all of our athletes that competed, and would like to congratulate those that were selected to represent the Alyeska Ski Club at these outside competitions. We would also like to give a big thank you to our ASC coaches. We are extremely lucky to have this exceptionally talented coaching staff. Our coaches work countless hours both on and off the snow to provide quality training opportunities and mentorship to our athletes. While not every athlete gets a position at the top of the podium, or may not finish a specific race or event, we need to keep the long term game in mind and be proud of the accomplishments they have made and the life skills they are learning. Congratulations again to our athletes, and good luck in the many competitions that ASC members will be attending in the upcoming two months. DEVOS Devos athletes have been busy improving their all mountain skiing skills. Coaches have enjoyed skiing with their groups designated by Alaska Mountain Ranges and Glaciers.

A Market Analysis Evaluating Potential for Real Estate Sales Within a New Destination Resort in Girdwood, Alaska
Peterson Economics A MARKET ANALYSIS EVALUATING POTENTIAL FOR REAL ESTATE SALES WITHIN A NEW DESTINATION RESORT IN GIRDWOOD, ALASKA PREPARED FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL May 19, 2006 Project Number 115 11106 Marine Drive Anacortes, WA 98221 TEL 360.588.9801 FAX 360.588.9870 TABLE OF CONTENTS I INTRODUCTION ................................................................................... I-1 II EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ..................................................................... II-1 III OVERVIEW OF REGIONAL CHARACTERISTICS AND REAL ESTATE MARKET CONDITIONS IN GIRDWOOD........................... III-1 IV QUANTITATIVE DEMAND ANALYSIS ............................................ IV-1 PETERSON ECONOMICS TOC-1 SECTION I INTRODUCTION Peterson Economics was retained by the National Development Council in November 2005 to complete a market analysis evaluating potential for residential real estate sales within a proposed new destination golf/ski resort community in Girdwood, Alaska. The proposed new resort community is currently named Glacier-Winner Creek; it could potentially become the premier ski and golf resort community in Alaska, featuring a dramatic, scenic mountain setting, a large ski mountain featuring an attractive mix of terrain, a championship-quality 18-hole golf course, and a variety of other amenities. Girdwood is located at the base of the Chugach Mountains, about 40 miles east of Anchorage. It is home to the Alyeska Resort, which includes Alaska’s nicest resort hotel and largest alpine ski area. Access to Girdwood and the subject site from Anchorage is relatively good. The Seward Highway (Interstate One) connects Anchorage to Girdwood, and when the roads are dry, travel time is roughly one hour. Currently, Girdwood is a small community comprised of a mix of primary- and second- home owners. The town’s resident population reportedly totals about 2,000 persons.

Existing and Potential Ski Areas
EXISTING AND POTENTIAL SKI AREAS Abstract: Downhill skiing is a popular activity in Colorado. The ARNF receives an average of 1,366,230 skier visits annually. Predictions are that the rapid growth of the ski industry in the 1970s and 1980s has ended and that in the next decade skier demand will be met through expansions at existing areas, with few new ski resort communities being established. A trend evident in Colorado is that larger ski areas tend to succeed. Each alternative provides for the continuing operation of the areas currently operating under special use authorization. Alternatives differ from each other by the number of acres allocated to each of the areas currently authorized as well as by acreages allocated to potential sites. Alternative A allocates 21,685 acres to ski-based resorts, existing and potential (MA 8.22). Alternative B allocates 16,527 acres, apportioned solely among the three areas currently operating under special use authorization. Alternative C allocates 21,544 acres and Alternative E 20,349 acres to develop ski areas. Alternative H allocates 9,101 acres, and Alternative 122,142 acres. INTRODUCTION Developed ski areas are a longterm commitment to the occupancy of National Forest System land. This use was originally authorized under the Act of March 4, 1915, as amended July 28, 1956 (38 Stat. 1101; 16 USC 497.) which authorized term permits for structures or facilities on National Forest System land and set up maximum limits of 80 acres and 30 years and the Act of June 4, 1897 (Ch. 2,30 Stat. 11, as amended; 16 USC 473-475,477-432,551) which authorized annual permits for the land occupied by ski runs and undeveloped portions of the ski areas.

Ch. 11. the Resort Base Areas
11 THE RESORT BASE AREAS As one enters Girdwood, Mount Alyeska is hard to ignore. Standing like a monumental homing beacon on axis with Alyeska Highway, it fairly demands that those who live at its feet actively engage it. Along with its other majestic Chugach neighbors, it symbolizes the physical elements that dominate Girdwood’s wildland identity. Its magnetic pull is the force that governs the interplay between resort and community. Fig. 11-1 Mount Alyeska first began to attract local View toward skiers in the mid-1950’s, when a rope tow Mt. Alyeska and a small ski slope were installed from Highway (1956). The Alyeska Ski Corporation was formed in 1957-58, and the new company developer of hotel and recreational forged ahead with construction of its first properties (the Seibu Group of Japan), chairlift and a day lodge (1960). In the purchased the ski area. In 1985, Seibu following decade, the company operated prepared a master plan for resort at a loss, subsidized by a French expansion and, based on the plan, was benefactor, but Girdwood’s gradual granted approval to purchase 80 acres of transformation to a recreation-based land from the Heritage Land Bank and to community was undeterred. In 1962, the lease some 30 more. The Municipality ski company acquired from the state 233 approved the master plan in 1987, acres of land at the base of Mount Alyeska permitting construction to begin on the first and developed the Alyeska Subdivision. In phase of the expanded resort. The 307- 1968, the first 32 rooms of a base area room Alyeska Prince Hotel opened in hotel were built by a private developer, but 1994, along with a new tramway and two months after the grand opening in chairlift system and a new parking area in February 1969, an avalanche nearly the flats below the hotel.

Discipline For
Diisciiplliine for the SSkkiieerr In the 1994 Winter Olympics held in Norway, 23-year-old skier Tommy Moe of the United States became the first American male skier to win two medals in a single Winter Olympics, with a gold in the downhill and silver in the Super G at Kvitfjell ski resort. Moe had shown great potential for years, but according to Sports Illustrated, he had a penchant for smoking pot and drinking. In 1986, as a 15-year-old, he was invited to be a part of the U.S. ski team. But when the coaches learned that he had sneaked out of camp to smoke pot, they kicked him off the team. Moe’s father, an Alaskan construction worker, decided his son needed some discipline and he ordered him to come to Alaska. There he put Moe to work. Moe was on the job at 4 a.m. and he labored under the Alaskan sun for 12 to 16 hours a day during the long days of Arctic summer. “I worked his rear end off,” said Tom Sr. “And then I asked him if he’d rather be doing this or if he’d rather be skiing with the team in Argentina. That straightened him out.” His son recalls, “It was mental torture, bad news. It humbled me up pretty fast.” Moe got serious about ski racing quickly, leading to his championship accomplishments. He retired from international competition after the 1998 season and lives in Wilson, Wyo., serving as an ambassador of skiing at nearby Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.
