Fairbanks is home to snow capped mountains, rugged backcountry areas, fantastic scenery and miles upon miles of winter trails. With so much to offer, it is no wonder snowmobiling has become an important part of life for people in Fairbanks. ... One of the reasons why sledding in Fairbanks is such an amazing experience is because of the local snowmobile club. Formed in the late '80s by a group of residents, the Fairbanks Snow Travelers snowmobile club is a devoted organization of people who love the sport of snowmobiling. They currently have between 150 and 200 members who do an excellent job of promoting sledding in Fairbanks.
