Arctic Man celebrating its 25th anniversary

Arctic Man is nothing short of an experience. You will never get the full effect until you actually attend one of Alaska's most amazing races.

Arctic Man is wide open
When Howard Thies started the Arctic Man Ski and Sno-Go Classic in 1986, he wasn't sure if anyone would show up to watch snowmachines pull skiers in a race high in the Hoodoo Mountains.
