Why Does Alaska Gets So Much Snow? Every year, as Spring dawns on North American ski resorts and the snow begins to melt, it happens: the pros ship it up to the Last Frontier.

Alaska not only has the country’s highest point (Denali at 20,320 feet), but also the coldest temperature on record (-80 F in Prospect Creek, 1971). ameliatraynor | February 1, 2019 2 Comments
