Conditions Report
Arctic Valley is closed for the winter season. Thank you for your support during this less-than-ideal winter!
Arctic Valley’s boundaries are open to uphill travel. Remember to follow good backcountry travel practices: bring a partner, beacon, probe, and shovel. There are unmarked manmade and natural hazards. No rescue services are available, and no snow safety activities are being performed. Be prepared for thin coverage, hidden obstacles, open water, and avalanche conditions. TRAVEL AT YOUR OWN RISK. Be prepared for self-rescue as if traveling anywhere else in the backcountry.

Road Conditions
Updated: Saturday May 3rd
Arctic Valley Road is melted down to dirt. Beware some areas where the grader has not completely smoothed the road out, particularly around the biathlon range parking lot (1/3 of the way up).
Below is the current schedule for military live fire exercises on Arctic Valley Road:
For most exercises, road guards will allow traffic to flow every 20-30 minutes in each direction. For some exercises, the waits may be 30-40 minutes. The road (unless noted above) should not be ‘closed’. If road guards are communicating longer wait times than those listed above, or telling you the road is closed, please call JBER Range Control at 907-384-6230 and report the issue. They will work to make sure the units conducting training are following the road access rules.
