This Week in Anchorage & Southcentral — Mar 27 to Apr 2
Late March in Alaska carries the afterglow of Iditarod season and the unmistakable feeling that winter is finally losing its grip. In Southcentral, daylight is back in force — Anchorage is well past 13 hours of sun and climbing — and the mood shifts with it. Ski season is still in full swing in the mountains, but the first hints of spring are showing in the valleys: dripping eaves, soft snow on south-facing slopes, and birch buds just beginning to swell.
The Southcentral region in late March balances winter and spring activities in a way few places can. Alyeska Resort in Girdwood is in prime conditions, with long corn-snow days drawing skiers from across the state. Meanwhile, down in Anchorage and Homer, the harbors are seeing early activity as fishermen prep boats for the coming season. The performing arts scene — Anchorage Symphony, theater companies, local galleries — is in full late-season stride before summer schedules take over.
