The cold temperatures in Fairbanks Alaska are great for the Ice Alaska competition. It’s so cold that the sculptures don’t melt. That also means that you can count on your outdoor winter activities happening.
They have incredible outdoor rinks hat last all winter without even having to be refrigerated. We went skating outdoors at the Secondary School in North Perth on Monday. The outdoor ice was as big as the Steven Kerr Arena. Our lodge is on the Chena River, which is very, very frozen. They have sleds and we can sled down the river banks any time we want. When your sled finally stops it is a cool feeling to think “I’m lying here in the middle of the river”. Our winter hikes are so white because everything stays covered with snow. Yesterday we went hiking in the Boreal Forest. They have signs up that warn you to watch for sled dogs--we definitely don't have that on the North Perth Trail. The not good part was that Ray fell in a hole–he is okay. The good part was we saw two moose. They were really close. One was lying down and one was munching on tree branches. Did you know that moose means twig eater in Algonquin? What are your favorite outdoor winter activities? Staying warm. Make sure you click below to see our Alaska Outdoors Video--having so much fun! You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.
