The upcoming chilly season all over Alaska is supposed to be filled with plenty of snow, and milder temperatures so you can get out and enjoy it. This means the perfect winter to play in.
Valdez routinely sees over 300 inches of snow annually, on average. This town, and nearby Thompson Pass, hold quite a few snowfall records in both the state and the world.
November, December, and late March are expected to see the heavier periods of snowfall. This sounds like we may be enjoying winter past Easter.
Whether you are downhill or cross country skiing, you’ll love the views and the silence that nature offers in the winter. With precipitation higher than normal, there’s going to be great spots to ski all over the state.
Many tours are still running in the winter, and this is a wonderful opportunity to take advantage of a classic mode of transportation in our state. Fresh air, fun dogs, and a breathtaking trip across the snow may be just what you need.
Put those studded tires or chains on, top off all of your fluids, and have an emergency break down kit in the car, just in case. If you slide off into a snowbank on a road trip, you might not get help for awhile. It’s better to be prepared, especially with our cold temperatures.
This is one winter you won’t want to stay inside. Gear up and enjoy all of the fun, unique things you can only do in Alaska!
