Winter Prep for a rig

[sevenslats]

Are the roads pretty much solid ice all winter like in Anchorage or are they better on keeping the roads clear?

I grew up in Maine and then moved to Anchorage so winter driving isn't anything new to me... I'm just thinking about the ALCAN trip mainly.

The roads in the interior are better than here during winter. The snow is so darn dry, it just blows off the roads when cars pass. Intersections, they still get icy. But the Richardson is always clear and dry.
Parking lots are packed ice. The bigger ones put down gravel, but they're still lumpy ice.
