Come see what Mt. Aurora Skiland has to offer to skiers and riders.
Mt. Aurora Skiland, located on Skiland Road at the top of Cleary Summit just north of Fairbanks Alaska, offers over 31 runs on over 121 acres of skiable terrain with the greatest vertical drop of any ski area in the Fairbanks area. Although the greatest majority of our terrain is more suitable for intermediate to advanced skiers, we do have several beginner runs where you can hone your skills.
Skiland has the greatest vertical drop, and the most intermediate to expert terrain of an ski hill in the Fairbanks area. Although we offer no established terrain park, we do offer a wide variety of natural obstacles and terrain features for freeriders.
