The summer weather in Fairbanks is generally among the best in the state. This year has been particularly nice, with almost constant sunshine and warm weather. Today I had a chance to get out in the sun while working on getting photos for another project. Here are a few of the shots I captured:

New TV Ad: Fairbanks in the Summer
June 3, 2009 | Tags: Summer, Video
We recently put together a television ad featuring many of the best things to do, see and experience around Fairbanks in the summer. We usually have the best weather in the state from June to August, with warm temperatures and sunny skies. This gives visitors great opportunities for a first class experience at our attractions and activities. Our goal was to convey that light, energy and warmth, and to let people know about the great travel deals we often feature.
Leave a comment and tell us what you think of the spot and if there’s anything we can do to help you plan your Fairbanks summer adventure, just let us know!

The Remnants of Winter in Fairbanks
May 4, 2009 | Tags: Chena River, Ice
One of the great things about Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center is its location on the banks of the Chena River, which is a center of activity in Fairbanks. Friday it was sunny and 75 degrees. From my upstairs office window I could see the last of the ice from upriver flowing quickly through downtown:

Fairbanks has the most consistent warm weather of any destination in Alaska, and has nearly 24-hour daylight (midnight sun) all summer. So…after the last of the ice in the river is gone, and looking out the window right now it seems it is, we have a generally beautiful season ahead of us. Find more weather information or make a plan to visit now!
