Fair use rationale for Image:Aleyeska.PNG

Image:Aleyeska.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

Errors in Elevation

I believe that the elevation is listed in meters instead of feet. Arkansas has mountains that are 3,000 feet tall, not a ski resort in Alaska. If the elevation 3,939 meters were listed in feet, the elevation would be 12,923 feet. This elevation is a more realistic elevation for a ski resort. If there are still any questions, you can look at the ski video on the resort's website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.253.160.123 (talk) 22:47, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are no errors in elevation. The base of the mountain is almost at sea level. The mountain is only 4,000 feet tall. Thats perfectly normal. Remember, Girdwood is located at Sea Level. Arkansas is not located at Sea Level. Mountains are not often tens of thousands of feet tall. They sit on bedrock that is far above the base elevation. Alyeska 15:50, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Snowfall

I think that it would be more appropriate to list the average snowfall in the statistics sidebar, instead of the snowfall total for one year (June 2008). According to the resort's website, the snowfall average is 631 inches mid mountain and 742 inches at the summit. The highest annual snowfall, according to the website, was 1,100 inches in the 1997/1998 and 1998/1999 seasons. It doesn't make much sense to me to just list the 2008 snowfall total. I think that an average would be more informative. I would propose listing 742 inches of snowfall. Eli6 (talk) 21:45, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where did all the history go?

Interestingly enough with the Pomeroy ownership all history of Alyeska Resort between building and Byrne disappeared. 27.253.251.208 (talk) 13:05, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
