Fairbanks Snow Travelers

Alpine Creek Lodge is hosting a clean up of the Denali hwy on the weekend of June 1st. It is a Pot luck event. Bring trucks and ATV's for the highway clean up and they will provide a free room. They still have rooms available as of yesterday. Should be a good time! This was their post on Facebook: F...

Going to give it one last try this Saturday. Called Alpine Creek Lodge and the plows made it all the way out to them at Mp 67 from the Cantwell side. Think I'm going to drive out that way. Hope they weather is decent! Going to be warmer than the 21 degrees in Paxson last weekend thats for sure!

Even if we could've got past the windy area the snow was coming down heavy and getting worse. It was even hard to see at the lodge, and Isabel pass was a white twilight zone! But I will give it one more shot next weekend. Maybe Cantwell side, I hear they are plowed 40 miles in on that side. See how ...

Well Paxson and Denali hwy is a bust! Just got home, it was a full on blizzard there! Couldn't see a thing! Thought we would at least be able to follow the hwy...wrong! And if they were plowed to 17 mile, there are now pushed back to 3mile. 3 to 5 foot drifts after that. Maybe a better chance next w...

I think he was on that tv show "Miami Vice" Oh wait that's Don Johnson!

Yeah I called Alan and Susie and they were on vacation. Last they knew it was only plowed to 11 mile from Paxson. But thats good news if they're at 17 now, less road to run. Weather does not look too promising though, guess I'll play it by ear.

Was thinking about doing some exploring west of Paxon/Denali Hwy. Summit was really windblown and hard last weekend. I've rode out to MacLaren a few times last year on the highway. But would rather do back country west of Fielding lake. Or maybe take the highway part way and then go up Landmark gap ...

Thanks for the info Chuck! We will probably just park up at the monument.

We are just going for Saturday if weather permits. And was hoping to park down on the pad they had all plowed out for the camping area for arctic man. Hopefully it hasn't snowed and blown in too much!

I'm going to Summit this weekend with a few people from work. And also tow in a couple buddies on snowboards to goof around on the hills there. Mostly going to enjoy a nice warm day and hopefully enjoy some sunshine. Don't plan on going too far back since I'm towning snow boarders. Anyone else is we...

No problem! I'm glad it towed decently. It was so worth to get in all the extra riding out there! What a epic day of riding, probably the best I've had this year! I didn't get back to FB until 1215am, what a long day!

Let us know how conditions are for your weekend at Summit Chuck. The way snow has been holding out and from the amount they have down there I may go down there the following weekend. Some of my snowboarding buddies from work want to get pulled up some big hills!

We climbed up to the top of Deadman Mt, that's as far as we went. I do have pics on my phone and Melissa's camera, but don't have internet at home. Can't plug in any USB devices or download anything on gov't computers. Oh yeah and I do have a otter sled with a solid hitch. The overall ride was just ...

I'm going to be riding down in Cantwell this weekend. Myself, Melissa, and Txcanyon. Meeting at the holiday on Giest at 0645 Saturday. Probably going to ride past Caribou lakes and down to Deadman lake. Anyone is welcome to come along! :banana: I'm sure for anyone wanting to ride local, the Whites w...

I'm learning how to use my gps a little better now. I set a active track on it that weekend, so I have it mapped and could get back to it. But I will check the topo for deadman lake.
