  • Moose Mountain Alpine Sports Club with USSA
    Fairbanks Alpine Ski Club – Membership & Registration Packet The Fairbanks Alpine Ski Club (FASC) is a youth and young adult alpine ski racing program based at Skiland and also training at Birch Hill and Moose Mountain ski areas. The objective of the program is to teach the elements of alpine ski racing and to provide opportunities for the skier to participate in organized racing events and camps. The philosophy of the program is that by developing the skills and discipline necessary for racing, the result will be a highly confident and competent skier who loves to ski. FASC offers three levels of ski racing and training programs for Fairbanks area youth: the Mighty Mites Program; the Development Program (DEVOS), and the Junior Program. These programs range from one to three days per week, November through March/early April. Along with the training, we hold competitions at the local and state level. FASC is based at Mt. Aurora Skiland and skis at Birch Hill at Fort Wainwright during the early season and on Friday nights. We may also ski at Moose Mountain in the early season snow permitting. FASC programs are based on age and ability and skiers may be moved between groups based on ability and coach’s assessment. All FASC participants must join the United States Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA). The programs offered are structured according to age and it is expected that a skier has a fundamental skiing ability. The Mighty Mites Program emphasizes the development of primary racing skills and having fun. The DEVO and Junior Programs offer more training time as well as the opportunity to travel to races and camps.

  • While Most Visitors Are Familiar with Alaska's Summer Landscapes, There's No Getting Around the Fact That the Snow-Covered
    While most visitors are familiar with Alaska’s summer landscapes, there’s no getting around the fact that the snow-covered version of our surroundings is with us longer. Fortunately, Alaskans don’t just make peace with winter – we celebrate it! Many visitors would be surprised to discover that our winter temperatures are comparable to many places in the Continental U.S. Alaska boasts near-limitless winter adventure options, with activities ranging from dog mushing, skiing and winter festivals galore. So why not come up and experience Alaska the way the locals do – on skis, under the northern lights, soaking in an outdoor hot spring or racing down a snowy trail behind a team of sled dogs. Northern Lights The aurora borealis, also known as northern lights, occur about 60 or 70 miles above the earth’s surface —about 10 times higher than a jet aircraft flies — and can extend hundreds of miles into space. The most common color displayed is a brilliant yellow- green, but the aurora borealis can also produce red, blue and purple patterns. When to view The northern lights are best viewed during the winter and often spotted as early as August. The aurora is most active around the autumn and spring equinoxes, September/October and March/April, and are most likely to be seen late at night or in the early morning hours. Fortunately, many Alaska hotels offer a northern lights wake-up call to alert visitors when the lights are out. Best conditions Ideal conditions for aurora viewing involve clear, moonless skies, but with clearer skies come sub-zero temperatures — so be sure to dress warm.
