Skiing in Fairbanks AK
 

Hello everyone.

I have been skiing in Fairbanks for years. I ski at UAF, Birch Hill, and Moose Mountain. If you are from Fairbanks, or live near by please share where you ski. I'd like to have some more options.

UAF- great for beginners and tons of trails, cross country
Birch Hill Rec- great for advanced, and has some steep hills, cross country or downhill
Mountain- advanced downhill, can be very challenging

Thank you

Elizabeth

Sorry Elizabeth, there's nobody here from Alaska and you're barking up the wrong tree in this newsgroup because the majority of people here don't really ski. They just sit behind their computers bitching to each other things that are irrelevant to skiing. There are only a couple of people here who get out more than a couple of days a year and a few that haven't skied in a couple of years. Good luck, you might want to check out the forums on http://www.epicski.com/f/. This newsgroup has been nothing but flamewars for over a decade so there are no real skiers left here.

Thanks for the report. I did a quick google and also found Mt. Aurora
Skiland apparently near you - how does it compare to the others you
mentioned?

We California skiers are suffering under a continuing climate change
caused drought, but still getting turns (see elsethread.)
Haven't really heard - how's your snowfall compared to "normal?" Any
climate change impact? How about down Anchorage way? Any first hand
comments?

PS In spite what you read elsethread, there is a continuing undercurrent
of actual ski interest and ski talk here; it's like looking for gold on
the beach at Nome - lots of gravel; but there's still gold.

I got Gold at NASTAR open at Okemo this last weekend.
Now I can barely walk and stairs are very painful due to my knees.
But winning makes it all worthwhile.

We are getting killed with the snow here on Long Island, Windham and
Hunter got 12 to 14 inches yesterday.

That's nothing. We got 16" of global warming. In front of my garage
is a drift 3 foot high. I've been plowing and shoveling for two days
and I only got half my driveway done. There is no place where it's
not over the top of my snowblower. Yesterday I used up a whole tank
of gas in my snowblower. I've never done that before.
