Ski History Getting Here Lodging Activities
| Juneau is Alaska’s capital city, and serves as our base for adventure. We live here throughout the year, and take advantage of the unique terrain that has been shaped for thousands of years by glacial activity. This area was originally a Tlingit Indian settlement before gold was discovered in 1880. The great Tlingit culture of past can be faintly heard and felt in local business and corporations, politics, cultural centers, and education programs, but life today in Southeast is far different then what it was just two centuries ago. |

Offering everything from fast food to an elegant meal, Juneau’s restaurants provide an assortment of culinary choices: coffee and pastries, seafood and steak, calzones and pizza, bagels and sandwiches and much more. Juneau also offers Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Mexican, Filipino, Russian and Thai cuisine.
Performing arts groups in town include the Juneau Lyric Opera, Theatre in the rough and Oprah to Go! The Juneau Symphony is a community orchestra that includes more than 80 semi-professional and volunteer musicians, and the Perseverance Theatre has premiered more than 50 new plays by Alaskan and national playwrights. The Alaska Folk Festival occurs during April, and Juneau Jazz & Classics in May. There is also a plethora of watering holes around town most of which serve our locally brewed Alaskan Beer on tap with live music.
