Are there any new recommendations on Barrow or even Prudhoe Bay in the winter? With the great fares from the continental US to ANC on AS and DL, not to mention UA right now, I might just go up to Alaska in December to see the land of the midnight sun sometime soon.

Any updated advice would be appreciated! Thanks! ^
The further north you go, the better the chance of seeing the aurora - which is the best reason to go to Alaska during the winter. If you're there at the right time, the aurora around Barrow or better, Prudhoe Bay, will be stunning - if it's at a lull, at least you're still see something around Barrow or Prudhoe Bay, while Fairbanks won't have anything.
