Arctic Valley Master Plan
Date: 5/24/2021 - 6/16/2021
Description:
The Anchorage Ski Club (ASC) is excited to extend this RFP to develop a master plan for Arctic Valley.
The ASC formed in 1937, and is a 501(c)3 non-profit that owns and operates the facilities at Arctic Valley Ski Area, within Chugach State Park (CSP), just outside of Anchorage, Alaska, USA. Due to the formation of CSP, the original lease could not be renewed, and the disposition of the land agreement was in question for many years. This uncertainty severely hampered ASC's planning and development efforts over the last decade or longer.
In 2020, ASC and CSP completed a 20-year concession agreement with two 20-year extension periods. This has allowed ASC to again focus on long-term planning and capital fundraising. In 2020-21, ASC developed a Strategic Plan for AV, the first goal of which is to develop a Master Plan.
ASC wishes to develop the area in a manner compatible with its existing character, and expand and diversify its uses to serve the community to the optimum extent, while maintaining and enhancing qualities valued by existing users.
