Okay, it’s snowing a little bit! So Alyeska Resort is getting ready for the white stuff. There are a couple of great ski-n-stay packages. One for weekdays and one for weekends. Weekdays, between Dec. 1-17, you can stay for $109 per person, double. That includes overnight accommodations, a full-day lift ticket for each adult and breakfast. Add $20 per person for weekend stays–and every day 12/20-12/30/2009.

Below, I snapped this shot leaning out the window of a small plane (Ya–the window was open!!). That’s the roundhouse in the foreground–and the hotel at the bottom of the hill.

In the meantime, before the lifts are running, take advantage of fall specials at the resort. Here are a few deals:

a. AUTUMN GETAWAY: Overnight accommodations, breakfast for two and a $30 resort credit. Prices start at $158 for two people!

b. Autumn Stress Relief. Spend the evening at Alyeska Resort. Swim in the pool (see above!!). Enjoy a great meal. Take advantage of the on-site spa. In fact–with this special you get a $100 spa credit, plus breakfast for two. Prices start at $109 per person (double occupancy).

c. Alaska Autumn Special. This is the quintessential deconstructed package. It includes overnight accommodations and an in-room movie! Prices start at $65 per person (double occupancy).

d. Alaska Autumn Family special. This includes overnight accommodations, a movie, a 16-inch pizza, breakfast for two adults and free breakfast for up to three children! Prices start at $198 per night. Add another room for $100 per night.

Actually it’s called “Alaska’s Marine Highway”. And it really is a road between many of our far-flung communities.

My friend Marion Owen at Galley Gourmet in Kodiak took this picture of the m/v Tustumena sailing by her home last April.

Here’s a round-up of several specials now available on Alaska’s Marine Highway:

a. Driver goes free. Yep. Unlike the cruise ships which sail up from Seattle, the ferry can actually take your car or RV. And the driver goes free when you sail on a round-trip itinerary. (more…)

Our entire family loves sailing on the ferry–and we’ve enjoyed stopping at communities like Cordova, Sitka, Wrangell and Kodiak!
