What February feels like
February brings Winterfest, the one weekend the entrance area comes alive in the cold, with ski races and a demonstration at the kennels — the only working sled dogs in the national park system. The Parks Highway is plowed all year; the park road is not, and won't be for months.
Winter is doing its thing: 9.6 in of snow in a typical February, with fresh snow on about 7 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
