The 2015-2016 Fairbanks Winter Guide is now available for free. The 32-page full-color booklet with winter activity listings and an action-packed events calendar offers an informative, yet lighthearted view of winter in Alaska’s Interior and the Arctic. Fairbanks has ultimate aurora viewing, one of the world’s largest ice-sculpting events and an amazing array of dog mushing. This trio of events make the winter season a travelers’ snowy paradise. The Winter Guide is designed to help plan vacations in the winter season.

The guide presents Fairbanks attractions and activities and also highlights nearby winter destinations.
