Hilltop Ski Area's April Fool's Snowboarding Switch

0:00It's April 2nd. I'm Corey with The Story, and this is Anchorage News today, your AI-powered local news. Hilltop's ski area up in Anchorage just dropped news as got folks talking. They're calling it quits on skiing after 40 years and going all in on. Snowboarding only for next season. The switch flips the script on the usual mountain setup, ditching the traditional ski vibes for a pure terrain-part playground aimed at borders. Stars around Alaska are probably side eyeing this hard since it cuts off a key local spot after decades of carving groomers and hitting jumpside. By side. But hold up official slip this out on April 1st, and yeah, it's straight up an April fools gag to mess with everyone. So the slopes stay mixed as always, keeping that balance for skis and boards without missing a beat.
