Fairbanks Snow Travelers

Yeah it should be interesting. That pic from Nome almost scared me, I was thinking there's no way that's in the whites! So looks like about 6 people so far, maybe a few more will show that morning!

I'll keep that in mind, longer tracks may need ice scratchers. So you're not coming John? Anyone else plan going to be on this ride so I can get and idea of how many people I should be keeping an eye out for at Hilltop? Weather is still looking good for this ride, possibly a little below zero in the...

Ride is Saturday.

Sounds like a good plan! I just remember about a month ago the other John and myself rode up from wickersham dome trail. We turned left on big bend just before Borealis cabin and I would say about 5 to 7 miles west from where we turned off there was a small creek/ditch with no water.. just a trench....

Probably head to borealis cabin then up to windy gap and back if folks are up for about 80 miles. If not we can do a shorter loop. So far the weather is looking nice. Should be plenty of snow, but some fresh would be nice.

Its about a 2-2 and a half hour ride in from Cantwell depending how fast you go. Melissa and I have done it in a hour and a half but thats averaging 50+. We were out there a couple weekends ago. The highway has been groomed and is in great shape. Out by the lodge and a few miles east of the lodge th...

Sorry Brian I didn't check this later on Saturday. I didn't end up going anyways because I figured the drive would be terrible and the ride might not be worth it anyways with all the snow coming down. We ended riding up by Wickersham dome, was a pretty good ride.

Might have a hard time with anyone letting you use their sled if you "really want to tear stuff up!" Lol. Did you find anything on renting? Maybe if you get lucky a dealer will let you borrow a demo sled?!

Was thinking about doing a ride down by Cantwell MP 191 on Sunday if the weather looks decent. Looks like it should be plenty warm enough, don't know how snowy it could be though. Got one buddy from work coming with me, anyone else is welcome to come. Probably leave FB at 0630. Nick :sledwave:

Hey, welcome to the club! For sure try to get out on some of the club rides. This up coming one to two rivers would be a great one to start out on. There's a lot of good people in the club and they have a lot of knowledge of the areas to ride around here and could give you good tips since you're a n...

The snow conditions at summit were amazing and super deep! A little cold, -26 at the parking lot and I'm guessing about -5 to-10 up in elevation. I would recommend a long track, my 141" was really working to stay afloat out there. Lots of untracked area out there, 4ft plus of fresh powder every...

LET IT SNOW!!! Think I'm summit bound on Friday!

I can help out and put in some hours!

As a witness to the last March ride to Deadman Lake I would recommend 10" wide skis, lol! BearAK is right, it's going to help keep that nose up if you happen to go off trail. And shouldn't hurt the trail ride any either, some good carbides will keep a good bite on the trail. The wide skis will ...

I'll be there. I go out there 2 to 3 times a winter and know Claude and Jennifer pretty well. They're great people and wonderful hosts! I know they would be interested to have our club out there. It's a easy ride and pretty well groomed most of the time. The ice overflows were somewhat bad early las...
