One of the nice things about skiing in AK is that it is mostly locals you share the slopes with, and for the most part "trails" are just different ways down the open face (not alot of trees). Skiers here are generally pretty good to excellent... every once in a while you'll run into people who have no business being on the trail they are on, and they can be very very scary (because you know they are very very scared).
