Weekend Wonder - Dog-Mushing and Gourmet Meals
Do you have some cash to burn and an empty weekend looming ahead? If you have all of that, plus a yearning for adventure and new experiences, then have I got a treat for you! One of the premier remote lodges in Alaska, and many say "The" premier lodge, is offering a French culinary weekend. This gourmet delight is being offered by Kirsten Dixen at the Winterlake Lodge. Ms. Dixon wrote the popular, "The Winterlake Lodge Cookbook." She is considered to be a top chef in Alaska. This weekend includes lessons in the kitchen with Ms. Dixon. You will also have opportunities to take the family dog team and mush out on the Iditarod trail, go snowmobiling, or even go on a simple cross country ski trip. The rate is great. Just $800 (once you get yourself to Anchorage) covers transportation, lodging, meals, local guide, and some wines. Call 907-274-2710 for more information. The trip begins on Friday and ends on Sunday, and yes, that is this weekend! If you go, take lots of pictures and post a few here for us. It will be a trip to be remembered. We're all jealous!
