Key Takeaways:

Alaska Airlines is launching a new seasonal route to “Ski Town, USA.”

Starting Feb. 11, 2027, the carrier will connect Portland, Oregon, with Yampa Valley Regional Airport in Colorado, which serves Steamboat Springs. Flights will operate twice weekly, on Thursdays and Saturdays, through March 28, 2027.

Alaska will use Embraer E175 aircraft on the connection.

The airline said the route is timed for peak winter travel to Steamboat Springs, a well-known ski destination.

Alaska also serves Steamboat Springs from Seattle and San Diego.
