A beautiful lighting spans across the Valdez peaks and the glacier landscape in the Chugach Mountains at Thompson Pass in Alaska during the late afternoon. The Richardson Highway reaches a height of 2,678 feet at the peak of the Thompson Pass creating bone chilling temperatures all winter.

Approximately 550 inches of snow fall during the winter at Thompson Pass, keeping the Valdez peaks blanketed in a winter wonderland. The peaks and glaciers are bathed in sunlight for at least 6 hours each day in December where visitors to the area enjoy telemark skiing, downhill skiing, snowboarding, backcountry hiking and heli skiing. The Chugach Mountains are paradise for those outdoor enthusiasts who can endure very cold temperatures.
