Alaska Outdoor Winter Activities
Winter in Alaska is a season of snow covered beauty and opportunity.
Skiing Alaska or gazing up at the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)
while you sit in the healing waters of Chena Hot Springs are just
a few activities that you will remember forever. You can even experience
the comfort of rustic wilderness lodging during your stay. Contrary
to popular belief, most Alaskans do not live in igloos nor will you
have to stay in one during your visit to the Last Frontier.
Some of the most popular Winter sporting events are held in Alaska.
The Iditarod and Yukon Quest Sled Dog Races capture audiences all
over the world, and the Tesoro Iron Dog 2000 has the respect of snowmachiners
everywhere as being the toughest and most grueling snowmobile race
on earth. If skiing is your thing, the World Extreme Skiing Championship
(WESC) draws skiers as far away as New Zealand to the beautiful port
city of Valdez every April.
There are numerous activities to partake in during the winter months
in Alaska, and the long seasons give you more time to enjoy them.
Whether you're snowshoeing in the Chugach mountain range or taking
an Arctic Circle tour via a respected air charter, there will be memories
to cherish forever.
Don't forget to dress warm! |
