Cold, but not as cold as you think. We have what's called a reverse temperature inversion so the higher we go the warmer it gets typically. Always plan for cold weather here in Alaska. -10°F is not uncommon but typically the temperature is between 0°F and 30°F in the winter. We are generally 20-30 degrees warmer than the town of Willow thanks to the temperature inversion, which makes us one of the most comfortable places you can ride snowmobiles in Alaska!
Sometimes! We have lots of Moose in the area along with wolves, coyotes, lynx and eagles. In the summer it's not uncommon to see a bear!
For our UTV tours just yourselves! Our machines are heated and enclosed so you don't need to wear full ski gear but warm clothes and good boots to walk around in the snow are great. We provide DOT helmets for all tours. For snowmobiling dress like you're going skiing. Think warm gloves, goggles, snow pants, and a jacket.
Yes you can! All rentals are complementary besides face coverings due to hygiene reasons. Face coverings are available for purchase for $15 each. We can fully outfit you for snowmobile tours if needed but bring what you have.

Unfortunately no. The Aurora is a natural phenomenon. Although here in Alaska our chances are really good almost every night! Either way you will be on a one of a kind adventure into the Alaskan midnight. We do our best to maximize our chances of seeing the lights, however mother nature can never give us a 100% guarantee. We recommend booking our northern light tour at the beginning of your trip and purchase our cancellation insurance. This will allow you to reschedule up to 12 hrs before the tour to maximize your chance of seeing northern lights, if scheduling and weather doesn’t work out, you will be able to receive a full refund as long as the cancellation request is made 12 hrs prior to the tour. Need help reading the forecast and picking the best date? Give us a call (907-250-5419) 24hrs before your tour, we are happy to review the forecast with you and help maximize your chance of seeing northern lights!
It happens… Our guides will be in touch with you the day of your trip to update you on the weather conditions including cloud coverage and Aurora predictions. We recommend purchasing cancellation insurance that way you can move your tour dates around to maximize your chances of seeing the northern light. If you still don't see them while on the tour, we will offer a 30% discount to try again or go on one of our daytime tours within 1 year of your original booking as long as we have a full paying customer going out on the same tour.
