Admittedly, Alaskan Winters are not for everyone. But for those who are so inclined, a world of white awaits.

Northern Sky Lodge, International Ice Sculpture Competition

The Northern Sky Lodge and Kennel is located about 20 miles outside of Fairbanks.  The lodge is in a log cabin that provides the perfect setting for people who love dogs, nature, good food and relaxation.  Our hostess, Pascale, worked tirelessly to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of all her guests.  Her golden retriever, Sidney, was always available for a game of fetch, or as an escort on a walk through the quiet woods.  Some of our vacations fondest memories took place here, and we are sure to return.  Just last night, I accidentally awakened my wife when I came to bed.  She looked at me, groaned, then said, "You woke me up just as I was about to go mushing at the Northern Sky Lodge."
