Internationally accessible; world class skiing; thousands of miles of trails; breathtaking landscapes. The Mat-Su Valley is the fastest growing area in Alaska because of its accessibility, mountain vistas and recreational opportunities. The Games will mostly take place in the Valley's two largest cities, Palmer and Wasilla. Just an hour north of Anchorage, separated by 10 miles, they serve as a major hub of commerce, tourism, and recreation.
