Cross country skiing at Creamer's Field can give you 22+ miles of beautiful scenery on groomed dog mushing trails. All while still right in town. A little jaunt from Fairbanks is the incredible Tolovana Hot Springs (90 road miles, 11 trail) and you could make the trek to Manley afterwards and see two hot springs. Manley needs reservations, Tolovana doesn't if you want to make the 22 mile round trip. Easy on snowmachine, impressive if skiing, but there are cabins there that can be reserved. Love winter here!
