this is jaw dropping beautiful omg .... thanks for going there, thanks for filming this, and thanks for filming this and editing it so beautifully. thanks again.
You do a superb job at taking video! very high quality! I was wondering if you know around what time of year rabbit lake thaws and is available for fishing? I'm planning a trip around the end of May. The beginning of june and am looking for input from locals
Hard to say exactly, every year is slightly different. Rabbit Lake is in the alpine area above 2,000 ft, so it thaws later than the lakes in Anchorage. I would expect by the beginning of June you would see some water (and some ice still possibly).
I didn't measure the ice while I was there on October 25th but all parts of the lake were completely solid. There were many people skating and it had been measured by someone in the Nordic Skating FB group a couple days before at at least 4 inches. I don't know what the weather has been like up at Rabbit Lake this week, but i suspect there were warmer temperatures. It is always a good idea to check the Nordic Skating Facebook groups to check if anyone has been up there recently. And today it snowed in Anchorage and I'm not sure if there was snow in the mountains.
The temperature the day I visited was a few degrees above zero. The challenge of visiting is the time period for skating is possibly very short. The lake needs to freeze properly and you need to get there before the snow falls. You have the chance to see bears anywhere in Alaska. Usually in winter the bears are in torpor.
You didn't take enough shots thru the ice. Kinda skipped over the beauty of it for shots of ice skating. I'd a had the camera pointed down most the time

How thick was the ice ? Any problems with areas being too thin

羨ましい❤いつか行ってスケートしてみたいです。
気温はどれくらいですか？
トレイルの途中で熊が出る可能性はありますか？

@@CyclingAlaska 早速のご返信ありがとうございます！いつかあんなに美しい湖でスケートしてみたいです。
20年前にFair banksにオーロラを見に行きました。とても綺麗で感動しました。
そしてAlaskaの方々は本当に皆さん優しくて感動いたしました。美しい動画をありがとうございました。
It's nice to hear you had good experiences in Alaska. (I also had great experiences traveling around Japan!)
