We’ve always wanted to visit Alaska.

The picture we had was painted

by years of Warren Miller movies,

reading “Into the Wild '' and

watching numerous clips of huge

cliff jumps and heliskiing in Valdez,

we had created a collage of a

wild, extreme, hostile and remote

destination.

So with travel restrictions finally

lifted we started to plan our

adventure and were surprised how

easy it was to reach Alaska, and

how accessible it was to experience

the vast range of outdoor

adventures that has made Alaska

such a sought after destination.

We had googled the ‘best things to

do’ in Alaska during winter, which

of course included skiing, moose

spotting, fat biking, snowmobiling,

snowshoeing and viewing the

Northern Lights and planned our trip

accordingly.
