ALYESKA, ALASKA

HEAD TO ALASKA Love the mountains but hate altitude? The base of this mountain, located 40 miles south of Anchorage, is just 250 feet above sea level, the lowest altitude of any major ski area in North America. That means those who suffer from altitude sickness can still enjoy big-mountain skiing. (Not to mention that full-day tickets cost only $33.)
