Anne’s Fairbanks Photographer, writer, and music industry publicist Anne Kristoff splits her time between New York City and wherever her husband, a Blackhawk pilot, happens to be stationed. Living in Fairbanks (her hubby is at Fort Wainwright) and blogging about Alaskan art and culture on AK vs AK has been a nice change of pace. One thing she loves about Fairbanks is that it makes you stronger: “I can now say: 40 below? No problem.” Learn more about Anne on her website and on Twitter @AnneKristoff. Fairbanks is My City Paddling down the Chena River. When someone comes to visit me, the first place I take them is for a ride along the Chena River from Pioneer Park all the way through downtown and over to the Fort Wainwright Army Installation. Summer is the best time to visit my city because it’s dark and 40 below zero in the winter. You can see my city best paddling down the Chena or from high above on Chena Ridge. Locals know to skip overtly touristy attractions and check out the local arts scene instead.
City of Fairbanks — The Golden Heart City Word of Mouth: Fairbanks by Anne Kristoff A confluence of accident and opportunism led to the founding of Fairbanks when businessman E.T. Barnette's steamship ran aground in the Chena River in 1901. It seems a natural progression then that over 100 years later—following gold and oil booms and busts, and statehood in 1959—Alaska's second largest city remains a place of hyper-local, entrepreneurial free enterprise. Here, chance meets necessity and life is inextricably intertwined with the surrounding rugged outdoors. Capture the Northern Lights Since moving to Fairbanks in 2008, photographer Ronn Murray has become obsessed with chasing down the Aurora Borealis. Skijoring in Creamer's Field Less than a mile from Fairbanks' most industrial corridor lies Creamer's Field, a sanctuary for man and bird alike. Public Art In a place where everything morphs into the same shade of icy blue for half the year, it's refreshing to have nuggets of public art nestled around town.

Arctic Winter Games Sled dog championships FAIRBANKS — The weather was delightful, the trail had mushers in the GCI Open North American Championship Sled dog race raving and the speeds put up had teams moving in the 20 mph range and faster. The top four teams are within 49.3 seconds of each other after the first 20-mile heat of the 68th running of the “fastest sled dog race in the world” on Friday and today in downtown Fairbanks. The next four teams are in a pack about two minutes off the lead and are separated by just 42 seconds. “It was a gorgeous day for racing,” said 12-time champion Egil Ellis, the winningest musher in the history of the 68-year-old race. Despite having a pileup on the trail when he came upon a closed gate leaving the Fairbanks Golf Course, Ellis finished the first 20-mile heat in fourth place, just 49.3 seconds behind lead Arleigh Reynolds of Salcha. “They did exactly what I wanted them to do,” Salcha’s Reynolds said of his dog’s performance. The race concludes with a 27.6 mile run starting at 1 p.m. on Sunday
Explanations about Northern Lights Welcome to one of the best places on earth for experiencing the beautiful and mysterious northern lights. Bright, energetic curtains of yellow, green, red or even purple light brighten our night skies regularly. Fairbanks is situated within a ring-shaped region around the North Pole called the auroral oval. Experience the aurora from a heated "aurorium" cabin, on an overnight sled dog trip, by snow cat tour to a panoramic vista, in a horse drawn sleigh, on a flight above the Arctic Circle, or simply walk outside and look up to see the captivating northern lights weave their way across the night sky.
