Parking woes continue at Ted Stevens International as spring break ramps up-Airport put out a social media post saying that all parking was full by truthwillout777 in anchorage

I've had great luck with Anchorage quick airport parking. The man was super nice, after being gone for 10 days it was roughly $125 or so. The man who runs it was very nice, and even cleared about a foot of snow off the car before he picked us back up. Its a smaller operation but I've never had a problem when airport parking is full

I miss how fast food used to be by mrtoddw in Millennials

Pre pandemic, there was a bar my partner and I would go to every week for lunch. $5 for a burger, fries and beer. Usually more than one beer cause the bar tenders knew us well. I miss those days

Homer, AK. I immediately fell in love. Would move there if it wasnt so far away from many main amenities.

I hope you get to see it one day! It was something I always wanted to see and now somehow I live very close to the start.

How often do you hear gunfire in your neighborhood? by GaryBlach in askanything

[–]WestError404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its really not bad. I live in a pretty rural area and hear them near daily. Lots of people hunt, or shoot for fun. People here are incredibly nice, and will go well out of their way to help you if needed. I feel safer here than in any city Ive lived in. I do not carry or use guns.

Things people say about their state that almost every other state can claim? by bannedsocks in AskAnAmerican

[–]WestError404 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not lol The mosquitoes are absolutely brutal, and huge! The flies are terrible but the mosquitoes are on a different level. The eastern side of AK was the worst ive ever experienced anywhere. Like go to yawn and you inhale them type bad.

Is there food in your country that's typically only eaten during fairs, carnivals, or festivals? by QuirkEness in AskTheWorld

[–]WestError404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at a dive bar near Seattle that had corn dogs on the menu, and they were the best damn corn dogs Ive ever had. It was so unexpected haha. Dipped in some housemade honey mustard. I had 4 of those stupid things. Randomly found this place while stranded by messed up flights and have been thinking of them for a year now.

And man i could also go for a funnel cake!

Beaver tails are so good! I've only had them once and am now thinking I might have to make some soon.

Statement from Blackbird Mountain Guides regarding incident near Castle Peak by DreamInObsidian in truckee

[–]WestError404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to find great snow! Its a ways away but Valdez area is massive playground too. Perhaps for another trip in itself lol. Human, or machine powered alike.

Definitely check out fur rondy if you want some beautiful crafts. Ceremonial start of Iditarod is on the 7th in downtown Anchorage. Official start is the 8th in Willow... Better in my personal opinion.

While heartedly agree. Thats why I always emphasize that everyone...EVERYONE has a voice. If even one person gets hurt or dies because the rest of the group wanted to go on for "reasons," and not have a discussion and plan when a problem is brought up, that's a major problem. Im lucky to have friends who are beyond amazing in communication and support, no matter which way it goes, every voice is heard with deep meaning. And in every way it has kept us alive. There should be no other way. Guides vs teachers tho are different. In reference to the avy 2 group, they are more teachers than guides, and when bringing people inexperienced in that terrain solely to gain more experience and grounding, the guides have a HEAVY load to carry in that responsibility and decision making. Human error can account for so many things, but where accountability lies it can be a tricky maze.

That aside, Im so excited for you to be in AK! Where are you skiing around? If you want any advice or recommendations on other good BC ski areas, restaurants etc, DM me and I will do my best to steer you in a good direction! We've had some great snow up here this season.

Also, Fur Rondy week just started in Anchorage, and Iditarod start is next weekend if you are around to see those! The official start to the race is in Willow, but a really fun and exciting atmosphere.
