Fairbanks is a great place to see them, as the sky is more often clear than in Anchorage. I used to live up there and enjoyed great shows on many occasions. It is never guaranteed, but in an active year the chances might be good. The Geophysical Institute at the Fairbanks U of A has a website and offers aurora forecasts. Maybe someone can find the link and post it. Or I will,go look for it and post again.

February in Fairbanks can be nice, or it can be really cold. They have a big dog mushing race toward the end of the month, always interesting to see. (Edit:it appears that now this takes place in March, not February). If you go, consider booking lodging out of town to the north, where the sky is clearer (away from city lights). There are now BandB's there that serve this purpose well. And you might see a moose in the yard when you awaken in the morning. ,
