March is Alaska's best month of winter. The snow is set, We've received 129.4" of snow so far this season in Southcentral Alaska. The days are getting warmer as we gain sunlight daily with 12 hours of daylight by mid month. This is prime time for Alaska adventure activities and snow sporting events and Alaskans take every advantage of it possible.

Iditarod 39 musher |
We kick off the month with the world renowned Iditarod race. This year, Iditarod 40 was won by the youngest musher ever, Dallas Seavey. We celebrate the coming of spring with a enthusiastic celebration in the snow! Conditions are ideal for skiing, mushing and snowmaching for moderate to high adventures. There's ice fishing, snowshoe hiking and northern lights viewing for the easier adventurer. Aurora activity is high with the recent extreme solar flares.

On the river |
When the skies are clear, they are true blue and Alaska's majestic mountain ranges shine as they rise up to meet them. Denali and the Alaska range is amongst the most spectacular views. Alaska welcomes visitors this time of year who are looking for some ultimate winter sport. Mushing behind a sled across frozen tundra and lakes, snow machining tours, downhill, cross country, alpine skiing trips in pristine countryside, cozy fireplaces and hot tubs, aurora borealis.... it's all here now.
