  • What started as a routine drive from Wasilla to North Pole turned into one of the most intense road trips I’ve ever experienced. From barely avoiding an avalanche to battling snowstorms, freezing rain, and icy highways, Alaska’s winter weather pushed me to the limit. Cars, trucks, and even tow vehicles slid off the roads, making this journey unforgettable. Join me as I share the wild detours and challenges of navigating Alaska’s unpredictable winter roads.
    Thanks for watching,

    Alaska is extremely fascinating and frosty at the same time. Its rugged nature, majestic landscapes, and extreme weather conditions make it a place full of adventure and challenges. Driving into a snowstorm like this requires a lot of driving skills." I admire your courage and skills in such difficult conditions. Your videos are amazing and inspiring! Thank you for sharing your adventures." Greetings from Polish.

      It was a true adventure and I have to admit it was kinda enjoyable, I think it was seeing what true nature can do !

    Good Morning Oli and Tacia,
    Wow, I'm glad you guys made it back safely. I didn't see a lot of people out though, which is good because some don't know how to navigate weather like that. Thank you for taking us along. Have a great week ahead!

      Hi Christine,
      Always happy to hear from you !!
      It was a very unplanned video but glad we had a chance to share with our viewers. The scale of this huge storm was crazy . It really offered everything from rain, flooded roads , ice , blizzard and lots of snow . All at once 😃
      Have a wonderful weekend and hope to see you on the next one

    Hi Oli, you sure picked a bad time to travel North on the Parks. You were caught between an Avalanche and an ice road. This why it's recommended to carry emergency supplies all Winter in vehicles. The Glenn Highway can be as or more treacherous than the Parks. I'm certainly glad you made it. Thanks for sharing.

    Some storm , love Alaska at the best of times but I love too see storms like that . Never been but we know North Pole quite well as we follow a family out there called somers in Alaska , followed them for the last 8 years , and if I’m not mistaken that was the Santa Claus house you were stood outside of .

      It sure was a storm !! But enjoyed it a lot , it’ll give you a sense of adventure and how strong nature can be !!
      I did watch your other friend’s UA-cam channel as well 👍, and yes it was the Santa house 😉😃

    Looks like the conditions we have here in northern Sweden in the winter. It sure keeps you awake driving to and from work for sure...
    But atleast I dont have to deal with avalanches in my area.
