Hilltop is a great value for your buck. It's not huge, but it is pretty fun for what's available. The food court is also affordable which is nice for when someone needs a break. The lift runs quick and makes for some awesome non stop riding especially to get ready for the opening of the season.

I really like this place because of how local it is. 10 minutes from Anchorage and a decent place to go to learn to ski. Not too steep for beginners, and they have some steeper stuff for advanced skiers. Best terrain park in all of Alaska, nice lifties and ski patrol, great groomed runs. The lift is old and kind of slow, but theres also a tow rope for hiking park. Food is expensive, even for a ski place, but its pretty good. I have skied here my whole life, and I have many good memories of this place. Overall 8/10. Love it!
