Winter Activities for your Alaska winter vacation are offered in February and March - the best months for snow activities in the arctic, with the long days, warmer temperatures and wonderful snow conditions. We offer cross country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, winter hiking, ice fishing, sledding, snowball fighting, photography, and much more. The Northern Lights are often excellent at this time of the year.  A ski-equipped aircraft is available at the lodge as needed, available to accommodate flightseeing and varied opportunities for our guests.  (Please call ahead to reserve aircraft in advance.)

Because of our location, we have some of the best snow available and also one of the longest snow seasons in the state.

The Lodge is the starting point for incredible backcountry skiing, situated in the Alaska Range. The lodge, located right at tree line has acres of beautiful trees and magnificent open meadows. Completely isolated yet readily accessible for a combination of "flat track" ski touring and snow shoeing.

Miles of trails leave right from the Lodge, offering opportunities to skiers of all levels. The trails offer some of the best remote skiing anywhere in Alaska.

All Lodge guests, whether young or just young-at-heart, enjoy our fun tubing and sledding hill, located right on the property and just across the lake. You are likely to hear whoops of joy coming from the hill, any time people are whooshing their way down!  Of course, with unlimited snow available, there is plenty of snowball-fighting, snowman-building, snow-angel-making activity to delight in. Come play in the snow with us!

If you're into hiking through pristine winter beauty and quiet seclusion, try winter hiking. Nearby are designated hiking and horseback riding trails that provide you the most beautiful scenery in Alaska!

For the more adventurous winter enthusiast Rainy Pass is a great place for the high mark snow machiner and for the mountain climber seeking numerous peaks to explore.  (Travel at your own risk!!)
