The National Championships are going to be held this winter in Fairbanks Alaska.  Every year I get a few calls from carvers going to Alaska for the first time.  For some of you carving ice in Alaska may be a first time experience.  I wrote up a guide to carving ice in Alaska.  Any of you that have already been, please read & critique, I would like to continue to make the guide better over the years.  Click Here to read The First timers guide to Carving Ice in Alaska Travis Dale called a few weeks ago with a bunch of questions,  The guide is mostly the notes he took from our conversation.  If any of it is unclear, give me a call.
