Frigid Fairbanks In February

Who goes to Fairbanks in February?  We do! 

I can only describe winter in Alaska with one word: Narnia. It looked just like Narnia. Simply beautiful, pristine rugged and cold.

The week before we visited, it was 27 below zero.  Fortunately, the coldest temperature we experienced was 9 degrees. 

We flew into Fairbanks where we spent a couple of days. We hoped to see the Aurora but the weather didn't cooperate. I snowed every day we were there. 

We visited the Ice Sculpture Championships and then drove up to Chena Hot Springs and visited the Ice Museum. 

A few days later, we took the Aurora Train down to Anchorage where we went dog sledding at Happy Trails Kennels. What a blast! The video below highlights our trip.

Winter in Alaska is truly magical...if you love snow...and you must love snow.
