Dog sledding is an exhilarating snow rollercoaster pulled by a remarkably strong group of huskies. Learning to drive a sled means the power is in your hands. You\u2019ll be standing, steering, and braking while zooming through the snowy trails. An assessment of physical fitness is required. So, if driving isn\u2019t within reach for you, rest assured the program is accommodating and will strive to create an experience fit for the whole family.

A nighttime snowmobile cruise underneath the Northern Lights, of course! Caused by the collisions between the earth\u2019s atmosphere and charged particles from the sun, aurorae are massive, painted ribbons of colorful lights which dance in the Alaskan sky. Join the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowsleighers.com\/the-aurora-sleighers\/\"> Fairbanks Snow Sleighers<\/a> from 10 pm to 2 am for a cruise through spruce forests and over frozen lakes in the crisp nighttime air. Your group will silence the engines to enjoy hot chocolate, snacks, and serenity whenever the Lights come out to play. Dress warmly, but know that gear is provided. Beginners are more than welcome and must be 16 or over to drive a snowmobile. Passengers must be at least six years old. There\u2019s no other place in the United States to view this natural spectacle, so be sure to check this off your family\u2019s bucket list during your stay in Alaska.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15322\" src=\"https:\/\/www.battleface.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bro-snow-Unlimited-Family-Adventure-in-Alaska-Josh-Bradley-battleface.com_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.battleface.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bro-snow-Unlimited-Family-Adventure-in-Alaska-Josh-Bradley-battleface.com_.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.battleface.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bro-snow-Unlimited-Family-Adventure-in-Alaska-Josh-Bradley-battleface.com_-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.battleface.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bro-snow-Unlimited-Family-Adventure-in-Alaska-Josh-Bradley-battleface.com_-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.battleface.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bro-snow-Unlimited-Family-Adventure-in-Alaska-Josh-Bradley-battleface.com_-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.battleface.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bro-snow-Unlimited-Family-Adventure-in-Alaska-Josh-Bradley-battleface.com_-632x420.jpg 632w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for an outdoor experience like no other?
