Fairbanks Snow Travelers

Mike and I pulled into the Arctic Man parking area today, returning from the Maclaren Lodge ride. There is about 2 feet of snow at the parking area with a lot of scrub brush showing. Brush is visible in the main valley leading up to the race course. You will have to ride high into the mountains to f...

All, There are currently 10 persons signed up to attend this ride. (The lodge has space for 4 more, if you still want to attend). The snow depth at the lodge is 19 inches and temperature has been around 5 above during the night, and upper 30's during the day. The lodge is at 3800 feet elevation. For...

All, The Maclaren river lodge owner Susie called me today and we had a very good talk. I had reserved 10 beds for the Fairbanks Snow Travelers for this trip. So far, only three persons have confirmed that they will go. The lodge has a waiting list for other parties that want to go, but she agreed to...

Meet at the top of Murphy Dome and park in the area by the Radar facility. I would like to leave at 10:00am. Bring a lunch and water.

All, I would like to explore the area and trails heading south on the Dunbar trail. I will leave from the top of Murphy Dome at 10:00 and drop down to the Chatanika River. From there we will connect up with the Dunbar trail and head toward Nenana. Not sure how far the trail is broken in, but Topo ma...

Thanks Mike for the report. I will plan to lead a ride next year to this area. It was a great trip. If the trail is broken in, any snow machine can make it to Caribou Lake. During this ride, we saw two small herds of caribou, and five moose. We took a snack break at the lake and watch/visited 3 pers...

The snow travelers did an overnight trip on Feb 2nd-3rd. The Wickersham creek trail was good to the Borealis LeFevre cabin. Beyond this point, there were areas of overflow coming out of the hillsides. A lot of it was hard ice but at an angle. It made it an interesting ride. The last 2 miles into the...

All, There is currently no ride leader for the upcoming Nordale ride. If you would like to lead this ride, please let the group know. Mike and I will be traveling to Cantwell Friday evening and riding all day Saturday. We will try to go to Caribou lakes again and enjoy some mountain riding. (We trie...

We will meet on the top of Murphy Dome at 10:00am in the parking lot just before you enter the Radar site. Caution; it is usually very windy on the top. From the top, we will drop down to the Chatanika river and find the Dunbar trail. The plan is to head north towards Tolovana Hot Springs. There are...

This ride can be one or two days depending on what you would like. Meet at Hilltop Restaurant at 9:00am for breakfast, then depart to Wickersham Dome trailhead at 10:00am. We will ride to the Borealis-LeFevre cabin (21 miles) and drop off supplies for those spending the night. From there, we will ma...

I will attend. The weather report looks good for the weekend. Warm, and maybe some new snow. Dan C.

Prefer to do the mountains. The rest of the weekend I'm on call, so stuck in town. Give me a call 750-1163. My son and I ma...
