What to pack

What November feels like

November is when the light goes for good and the snowpack starts to build, so the Nordic skiers get impatient and the fat-bike crowd gets happy. Aurora shows up over the Chugach on clear, cold nights, and you'll see far more of it from out along the Glenn than from downtown.

Winter is doing its thing: 12.6 in of snow in a typical November, with fresh snow on about 8 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
