We’ve always wanted to visit Alaska.<br />

The picture we had was painted<br />

by years of Warren Miller movies,<br />

reading “Into the Wild '' and<br />

watching numerous clips of huge<br />

cliff jumps and heliskiing in Valdez,<br />

we had created a collage of a<br />

wild, extreme, hostile and remote<br />

destination.<br />

So with travel restrictions finally<br />

lifted we started to plan our<br />

adventure and were surprised how<br />

easy it was to reach Alaska, and<br />

how accessible it was to experience<br />

the vast range of outdoor<br />

adventures that has made Alaska<br />

such a sought after destination.<br />

We had googled the ‘best things to<br />

do’ in Alaska during winter, which<br />

of course included skiing, moose<br />

spotting, fat biking, snowmobiling,<br />

snowshoeing and viewing the<br />

Northern Lights and planned our trip<br />

accordingly.<br />
