What January feels like
January in the park means a plowed road for the first few miles and skis or a snowmachine past that. The visitor center is shuttered and the buses are parked; the people you'll meet out here live in Healy, and the aurora over the Alaska Range on a clear night is the whole reason to come.
Winter is doing its thing: 9.6 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 9 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
