Your hosts, Matt and KellyAnn, here! We met in San Diego and have always been drawn to saltwater. We left in the exploration of more things wild: mountains to climb, waters to kayak, trails to run, perspectives to encounter. We spent 3 years on the road, living out of our car and exploring North America’s public lands and communities, stumbling upon spaces, places, and people who inspired us and ultimately sharpened the pencil that created Salted Roots. Seward won our hearts, with mountains, the ocean, and a national park right in our backyard. Alaska is wild - wild enough for us vagabonds to settle down roots… and then naturally the idea for Salted Roots sprouted. We bought the land in 2017, were married there shortly after, and began throwing together our future plans for the project with close friends. Our community helped us clear the land, build our website and make our vision a reality.

Arctic Valley is a non-profit ski area in the Chugach mountains just outside Anchorage. We offer the best combination of large indoor spaces for dinner and party, along with a beautiful outdoor location for your ceremony. Our lodge has large spaces upstairs and downstairs, so we can separate dinner and the party for large weddings, or keep everything together in the same space for more intimate weddings. We're an open catering and open alcohol venue, so you can bring your choice of vendors, and provide your own drinks if desired. Our chairlift is a unique experience, allowing you and your guests to get to the top of the mountain for beautiful photos and views. We offer most of the necessities as part of our packages, including tables, chairs, arch/arbor, dance floor, sound system, bar areas, and a bunch of table & room decorations. Our curfew is 1am, so you can keep the party going late! We welcome folks to stay overnight in our parking lots or public use cabins.
