I thought arcangel was closed. Maybe just the road, so how did you get over to that bowl? I have not been to Hatchers a great deal so I don't know my way around real well. Any help would be sweet

Nice Pics RMKincaid, good riding for sure up there.

If anyone is heading to hatchers to ride, I'm hoping to hitch a ride and split gas costs. I'm off all week.

Thanks

Anyone know what the temps have been up there?

It's been pushing -20, depending on what part of the valley you drive through. Saw -26 on the flats headed into anchorage today.

I rode the willow side yesterday, hit -35 at hatchers pass road, went all the way to the last chance coffee house and it was -21. Had a great day. I would call it boarder line epic. Where we were riding is wasnt quite -21 below but it was CHILLY

New Years Eve Day!

I rode out at Hatcher's today with M1ke and LiveAlaska. I had a great time and am very humbled. I have a lot to learn but they were great instructors. Thank you Mike and Mike

Hatchers Pass Conditions

Rode Hatchers today and it was tracked up bad, the areas that weren't tracked up were windblown with boulders all over the place. The "Lady Ranger" ticketed all snowmachiners whether they paid or not and was posting closed to snowmobiling signs for the entire area as we left. Parking prices have gone up and are now $20 a half day or $55 a full day. If paying half a day you have to load up and exit the park before coming back to pay the other half. It was windy and -75 up there and FLAT LIGHT as bad as it gets while socked in by snow fog making for a miserable day! And if you believe all this you should stay away this weekend and try Turnagain or Lost Lake!!!

IT WAS AWSOME up there today and I had a blast with Mr. J and Hostile1, thanks for letting me tag along and showing me around. I would post pics but it was just too cold every time we stopped to dig the camera out and take some pics.

Happy New Year Everyone
Please be safe out there
