So I will be going to Alaska March 2012 and was looking for any information or fellow Boarders that might want to join up and do some boarding.

Let me know if you got any info

Snowolf has the awesome info on Alaska... I just got up here this summer. I'd be down to ride together in March -- by then I'll be feeling out the season well and might have more suggestions in AK for ya.

A free place to stay in Anchorage and my buddy lets me use his truck so no rental car needed. Hatcher Pass is free for split boarding and sometimes I can thumb a ride with a sledder (Alaskan Amber is valid currency in Alaska..

). I kind of have my own thing figured out...2 weeks riding in Alaska for under a grand is hard to beat....

Its good to know people - I have friends in Anchorage plus a friend that works for a big hotel so I get mad discount rates when I travel to Denali or ANC. I'd love to plan a weekend trip with someone in early-mid december I am already dying to go. Snowolf when you do have plans of coming up again? Early 2012? Btw - off topic, but I'm getting a new jacket and pants this year. Any recommendations given the AK cold?
