It's a lot darker & colder in January. If you are coming through ANC, I would suggest late Feb. to early March for your visit. The Fur Rendezvous is going on then. A great winter carnival that ends with the start of the Iditarod. If it's clear, you can see the Northern Lights from ANC. A couple of days in Fairbanks lets you see the ice sculptures, visit Chena Hot Springs, North Pole and other sites.
