While Lower 48’ers are making plans for spring break, we Alaskans are making plans for spring breakup, as more light and more potholes are just a few of the signs of the seasonal transition to come. It’s not too early to start thinking about your garden, summer visitors and summer adventures, all while continuing to enjoy the fantastic skiing, snowshoeing, and hiking available on local trails. If you’re in need of a little inspiration or simply an excuse to get out of the house, there are plenty of fun and educational talks, presentations, and conversations, as well as live music, art events, and community fundraisers happening this week. Just check out these Best Bets.
