Fairbanks Snow Travelers

Mike C. and I plan on doing an informal ride to the White Mountains this weekend. We will depart from the Fox gas station at 10:00am and head to McKay Creak trailhead (mile 42.5 Steese Hwy). Our plan is to head to the Cache Mountain divide and maybe to the Windy Gap cabin. Expect about a 90 mile rou...

All, The plan is to meet a Just-a-store (Corner of Chena Pump and Chena Ridge Rd) at 7:00am. I would like to depart by 7:30am. We will drive to Cantwell which is a 2.5 hour drive, then turn onto the Denali Hwy and drive for about 5 miles. The state stops plowing the road at this point, and there is ...

All, I have been wanting to due this ride since early January but had to postpone due to extreme cold. The ride is on again. Take a look at the posting "Stampede Trail Ride Jan 4, 2020 for details and meeting time/location for the ride. Dan Cryer 750-1163 for info.

Due to cold weather forecast for tomorrow morning (30 below) and other unforeseen reasons, I am cancelling tomorrows ride on Feb 29th. I still plan on going to the Chatanika Lodge for breakfast at 9:00, but will not ride. You are all welcome to join me. Sorry to cancel another ride. Dan

The cost to rent the cabin for one night was $33, but I am not too concerned about getting reimbursed. I will bring a pull behind sled and some fire wood. Also, I will bring a chain saw, stove, lantern, and propane. Sometimes when I have rented these cabins, the equipment is broke or missing, so I a...

The trip is Feb 29th and Mar 1st

Last year, I reserved a block of rooms for this trip. The lodge owners have given us an excellent deal in years past and the riding out there has been outstanding. The cost is $100 per day and this includes three meals. I will need to get an head count and deposit of who is going so I can report bac...

This trip can be a one day or two day trip. We will meet at the Chatanika Lodge for breakfast at 9:00am on Saturday. At 10:00am we will depart and drive to the McKay Creek trailhead at 42.5 mile Steese Hwy. From there we will snow machine 20 miles to the Cache Mountain cabin. I have reserved this ca...

All, The weather has not been our friend this month. I am canceling the Angel Creek trail ride scheduled on January 25th. The following week looks even worse on the long term weather forecast. We will try to do some makeup rides in February and March. Stay tuned for updates on the website and Facebo...

All, I know some of you "die-hards" want to ride this weekend, but the weather is not being nice to us. Forecast for Healy on Saturday is -25 below in the morning, then warming up to a high of -14 below. I am postponing this ride to a later date. (I am leaning toward March 7th). Stay tuned...

All, I have been watching the weather in Healy for the past week, and the weather forecast for this Saturday is 20 below for the high. I have been on rides this cold and colder, but it is not very enjoyable. I am going to cancel the ride for this Saturday January 4th and reschedule for the following...

All, I delayed the Stampede Trail ride by on week due to me being out of town. It is now schedule for January 4th 2020. The plan is to depart Justa store (located at Chena pump and Chena Ridge road) at 8:00am. This is a great place to fuel up and get snacks. We will drive to the Stampede Trail road ...

We will begin this ride at 10:00am from the top of Murphy Dome. Caution: The top of the mountain is usually very windy. From the top, we will drop down to the Chatanika river and join the Dunbar trail. Last year I rode this trail south about 15 miles until trees blocked the trail. I came within 1 mi...

I plan on going on this ride. Not sure what night I will spend out there. It depends on my wife schedule. Dan

I will be leading an ATV ride to the Gold mine trail area on Aug 3-4. This area has two large mines (Dunkle and Silver King) that have been shut down for many years. Buildings and infrastructure remain that we can explore. We will depart from Fred Meyers west gas station at 7:30am on Aug 3rd. The pu...
