It may seem ironic that the scene of one of the world's worst environmental disasters - the Exxon Valdez oil spill of 1989, which released 40 million liters of crude oil into Prince William Sound - is also your gateway to great powder and exciting ski terrain. But Valdez has been a mecca for big-mountain skiing since the early 1990s, when Emily Coombs and her late husband Doug, two of America's most...
