Probably much cheaper to drive, but I grew up in Southern California. I don't know how to drive in a flurry, never mind real snow.
Talkeentna is a great little town to visit. The road is somewhat difficult in the wintertime for the people not used to driving in snow. Wintertime makes the Parks highway very dangerous in the winter. The train is a beautiful way to visit.

Dress like you were going to MN or Chicago in the wintertime and you will be just fine.
