To anybody still lurking on this thread, this is an excellent and somewhat unknown point: March is easily the best time of winter to visit Alaska. You have a winter's worth of snow, abundant daylight, and relatively moderate temperatures. It's like an oasis between the "real" winter months of Jan/Feb and the slush and dirt of April.
