Surrounded by the Chugach Mountain Range amongst lush forest, Girdwood is a small Alaskan mountain town that is conveniently situated 36 miles (61km) south of Anchorage and its international airport. Once serving as a supply town for gold miners, Girdwood has always had the appeal to outdoorsmen, including skiers with perfect snow and weather conditions.  Aside from skiing, Girdwood is the place to escape your day-to-day and to experience the best Alaska has to offer no matter the season.
