Site says it all....south facing and I guess they get some serious temperature inversion. Last year was not a good snow year for Alaska. The year before was record setting though for Alyeska and other mountains.

It's all relative though.....It's outside of Fairbanks, which routinely gets -10 to -20 F in the winter. Even with temperature inversion I doubt it gets above freezing often. As far as Southern exposure, I would think the further distance from the equator would make this less of a factor than the northeast, in addition to the shorter days. I know in South America, Northern Exposure holds snow the least amount of snow, not sure if the longitude of the resort makes Southern exposure less of a factor as well.

Maybe they have a tough time starting the bus in the Alaska cold?

With the Fri/Sat/Sun schedule 57 is about all they're looking for. There are a load smaller places with similar or even shorter scheduled season. It does make trip planning a bit difficult some times. But if you play it right you can substantially increase your odds of a powder day. Example for last years trip to MT...

Showdown opens on Wed for the week - untracked powder
Teton Pass opens on Fri for the week - untracked powder
Bear Paw opens on Sat for the week - untracked powder

Doesn't always work out that well, but last year it did.
