Seven Glaciers Restaurant atop the Alyeska ski slopes in Girdwood, AK

What a treat at this wonderful restaurant!  2,300 feet above sea level with a beautiful view of snow-clad mountains and steep green hillsides, touting one of the few double diamond ski slopes in North America.  I don't know much about snow-skiing, but the steepness of those mountains tell me it would be very challenging.  I was impressed by all the hikers going up the trails, while we rode our tram up this very steep incline to the restaurant.  Even spotted what appeared to be a black bear along the way.

We didn't hike it - we had to wear nice clothes and shoes to eat at this 4-diamond AAA rated restaurant.  Dress code requirements.  However, there were enough sneakers and jeans and sweatpants present in the restaurant that kinda dismissed the dress code.  Marv said that is pretty typical in Alaska.  These adventurous people don't have a need for fashion.  Of course, Marv and I are so conscious of the latest fashions ...ha ha.

It was our date night for our Anchorage stay and the meal was wonderful!  Typically, the price tag would have given me indigestion, but not this time.  It was a very nice experience and once in a lifetime opportunity.  The halibut was delicious...and the "baked Alyeska"...

The picture belows shows a notice to the hikers on the ski slopes, warning them of possible shells that were used to break up snow deposits to avoid possible avalanches.
