Allison Creek is a very special area with BIG ocean and mountain views. While not the shortest Port of Valdez approaches, the touring and terrain options in this valley, which provides access to adjacent valleys, are endless. There’s mellow powder skiing, LONG and STEEP chutes, 1000′ boulder pillow lines (known as “The Turtles”), and ski peakbagging to varying degrees of difficulty. It’s a great zone for ski mountaineering and adventure skiing, as well as full day tours for the less vertically ambitious.

The area is home to Snow Dome (upper ascent route pictured to the left), one of the most prominent and striking peaks viewed across the Port from the town of Valdez.
