Anchorage What and where to do in March!?!?
Posted: Thu February 15, 2007 08:39 PM UTC
My girlfriend and I are making an Alaskan trip the first week of March. I'm doing the winter thing though because I'm taking a flight to Bettles to check out the northern lights and to pop the question. Can anyone give me some pointers on a winter visit. All I have now is to watch the start of the race while in Anchorage.

Thanks!

Heres a handy webpage for you, if you ahvent already been there

Fort Yukon was -47 F this morning. If youre looking for some warm clothes in Fairbanks try Big Rays or the prospector. Sounds like a cool trip! Good luck

If you are active people there are a ton of activities to do and it is usually the best snow of the year. You can do everything from renting snowmobiles, cross country skiing, Alyeska resort for downhill or snowboarding, hiking or snowshoeing, etc, etc. Tell me what you like to do and I will give some suggestions.

Man I am up for anything. I will be in Anchorage Saturday through Wednesday, then Bettles for three nights, then Anchorage one more night. I was thinking that I could do the Snowboarding lessons on the last Saturday in case we get hurt. I think I might want to do the snowmobile rentals. That would be cool. My girlfriend hasn't really done much in her life. It seems like everytime we do something it is the first time she has done it. In Bettles we are doing the cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and dogsledding. What else can I bet on for Anchorage??? Thank a million. We will be there tomorrow granted our jet gets off the ground. We have weather right now.
