Visiting Alaska in the Winter is Like Living in a Snow Globe

We've never experienced ANYTHING like Alaska in the winter! We ride snow machines, stay in an off-grid cabin, and see more snow than we've ever seen in our lives.

Thank you to Mary Ann and Chris for making this access to an Alaskan winter possible. It is some of the most beautiful scenery Marissa and Nathan have brought the viewers, to date.

[@johnnylightning1491]

I've lived in Michigan all of my life that I can remember. One of my favorite things to do after a big snowfall is walk in the woods. You're the only thing moving. It's really magical. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@sherriweber7105]

Thank you Mary Ann and Chris for brining Nathan and Marissa to Alaska and making it possible for them to have fun with their family. Thank you Nathan and Marissa for taking me on this adventure of the snow machine abs showing the cabin. That scenery was awesome. I have never seen that much snow before not even when I lived in Michigan. You are living the dream.

[@sdgus060510]

This video made me emotional! We are a part-time family, dreaming of full-time. We have 2 kiddos, one who is a wheelie kid. One of our family goals is to break the boundaries society puts on our family. We thrive in the experiences we aren’t ‘supposed’ to be doing. I love seeing you all break the typical! Kids in tow, making it happen. 💜

[@travelingcatphotos]

What a great place! We haven't been snowmobiling in years and now that our grandson is 10 we are considering it for this upcoming Winter! Just looks like SO much fun...even for a kid who groans that we are "dragging" him out "into nature" LOL!

[@jenniferdavis8088]

I Love how great of parents you two are!! You two do most all activities with your kids , The memories that they will have are priceless!!

[@lindaheckert8495]

Thank You Mary Ann and Chris for giving Marissa and Nathan this wonderful experience in Alaska.. You have a Beautiful State.

[@toddletrails1016]

I love my memories as a kid of riding in a sled behind the snow machine, or four wheeler. My sisters and I used to do that and take turns driving or being in the sled. (Lifelong Alaskan here)

[@Gonzo614]

Thank you Maryanne and Chris for allowing LJMJ to let us follow along and experience the beautiful land you call home. I so want to visit Alaska in the winter.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks so much

[@dawnpanier146]

Have several friends in Willow and North Pole. They are true Alaskans...it's fun to watch them complaining of the heat above 70 degrees. Thanks for bringing us all along in your journey ❤

[@jolenecreech7648]

Oh my goodness…what fun ! What a great memory you two are creating for the whole family! You are right, Marissa, packing up for a winter’s stay with kids in Alaska would be intimidating ! But, here you are! You guys are going ALL IN!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Yes we are, thank you.

[@northstar68]

Love Alaska! Love snow! So beautiful!

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

I love this video. Thank you to that great family for allowing you to stay there. I can see and hear it in your voices. You are all loving it! Thank you both for taking us along on the journey.

[@kimproffer695]

[@helensherriff5971]

[@AndyFyon]

Fabulous experiences. Great hosts you have to help create those memories.

[@leonardmarlborough5587]

Watching these last couple of videos and all I can think about is the memories those children will have! Boy what I’d give to have shared that with my daughters and grandkids! I couldn’t be more jealous! Keep up the good times.

[@dawnvierra4063]

Thanks so much Chris and Mary Ann. Great video

[@nanapam1267]

All I can say is, what a wonderful childhood your children are getting! What amazing memories you are all making.

[@conniemckenzie7801]

Magical! What an adventure. Stunning Beauty!

[@timmartin4952]

Thanks to everyone for making that possible. So much fun to watch. Being from TN as well, have not been exposed to that much snow. We do plan to explore Alaska one day, but probably during the summer months.

[@asadventures_moriicoddiwomple]

Such a wonderful trip! What an amazing view of Denali from the snow mobile trip! Wow!

[@tanya334]

What an incredible gift they gave to you're family!!! I cannot wait to take my RV to Alaska in the winter , been there on a ship and was in awe can only imagine what it will be like to stay 🥰🥰🥰Safe Travels guy's ❤

[@sherrylauretani9996]

What a great adventure as a family! And thx to Chris and Mary Ann for inviting them to experience their beautiful country!

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

This is awesome!!!!! Loving this series!!!

[@raftingrachel204]

We live in a snowglobe in Central Idaho in a ski town. Looks like you guys enjoyed it so much. I have four kids and can tell you the snow makes it utterly magical for them. It's a great place to raise kids. Their sports are ski team and mountain bike team and they are both sports we can experience as a family! You totally need to move to a snowy climate!! I could see you guys in Alaska!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Would love to teach our kids how to ski! On the list!

[@esthermcgough3995]

Lived in Colorado when i was young. Walked through snow paths thats what i remember most I think. Looks beautiful there.

[@TravelingonAdventures]

Alaska is so beautiful and what a way to experience it making memories the kids will remember for a lifetime! And Thanks to your friends that helped make it possible.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Our pleasure! Thank you.

[@hclinton1997]

I’ve been watching you guys for so long and I just gotta say every once in a while how much I love your family. Hensley is growing up to be such an awesome kid. And JJ is so hilarious! I loved this video bc your kids were such good sports and I love seeing you two act like kids in the snow! Thanks for the great videos.

[@kurtschulmeyer1041]

Glad you all had a great time! Try hunting in that weather. Stay safe and have fun.

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Now you understand why after we visited Talkeetna for the first time….we never left. It truly is hard to beat ALASKA!

[@southerngypsy-pollyburnett3104]

What a fun wonderland! Thanks for taking us with you

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for watching!

[@melindaharry1852]

Oh my goodness! Looks like an adventure!!!

What an awesome, exciting adventure! So happy for you guys!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks so much!!

[@VernonWallace]

I could live in that cabin. I lived in Alaska for 2 years while in the army. This was from 1972 to 1974. Was a great place. My wife and I went back in 2004 for vacation. Fairbanks was bigger and more stores. I am so glad you have great friends sharing the Alaskan Experience with you. Thank you

[@idarmartin6022]

Thank you Moses for the experience.

[@kathykeene2092]

I have the same fascination with Alaska as does Marissa. We started with a cruise is 05, then took our 5th wheel in 2019. And now we are planning on going back. It is my favorite state as well. Observing the Northern Lights is on my bucket list too.

[@gthornton3]

I had a jacket just like that when we were stationed at Ft Richardson 77-80 in fact I still have it. Love it.

[@travelingmertonandsue]

Wow! It is beautiful! Thanks for taking us along! I think the kids are so brave! Wonderful family giving you this incredible adventure! Look forward to the next video! We really enjoy watching fellow you tubers! Take care, Merton, Sue and Sweet pea!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much!

[@lethamurray3536]

Amazing places!! So wonderful that the family shared their home with you!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

[@jamesbrown8718]

You all are making me jealous!! Up in Alaska with all that beautiful snow having such a wonderful experience with your family. I am so glad you can check it off your bucket list and thanks to the family that made your dreams come true and made it possible for us to go along in the trip. Well at least on the other side of the screen warm in my own house and not having to use that out house, I have had my fair share of those things growing up. What a beautiful trip love you guys and so thankful to you for sharing all your experiences with us.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much.

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Awesome. Thanks

[@defrost8648]

I'm so glad you got to come visit our beautiful state in the winter! I try to tell summer visitors how spectacular winters here are - but its hard to believe until you experience it. So glad Denali cooperated for you! 🏔❄🏔⛄

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We loved it.

[@sallylove3563]

[@terilou6616]

Your kids are going to grow up to be so open to adventure and growth !

[@donnaharris4459]

I can see how you would feel like you're in a snow globe Marissa, it looks so beautiful there. Looks like you're all having an absolute blast. Take care and thanks for sharing. ❤❤🇬🇧

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

I love it! Thank you.

[@Ultrafrozen]

March 27 today watching your video makes me appreciate living in northern Ontario, Canada. We still have piles of snow but it has started melting the odd warm day. We take the grandkids out snowmachining only in -15C temps or warmer so they don't get too cold and we travel 5 hours south to go winter camping in Algonquin Park for New Years and Family day weekend in February. Surprisingly, Anchorage Alaska has a slightly warmer winter climate due to being on the west coast but also a slightly longer winter as well. You are right, you have to embrace the winter and get out there to enjoy it.

[@bendemby924]

What a great story, you kid will remember this for ever.🙂👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@sarahseevinck8470]

awww it's like Utah in winter. LOVE!!!

[@lesliemcmasters2732]

Been watching you for a while now. What an amazing family you are and you are giving your children such a special gift every day!!! And if they don't remember some of it, you have recorded it so they can see it later. Don't ever doubt yourselves, you are bringing up some wonderful children and giving them that journey that nobody else can give. I wish I had been brought up that way!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much!

[@jackson7421]

Totally awesome! That’s the kind of place I could see my wife and I living.

[@garyhanson4133]

I'm loving this adventure. I've never been to Alaska, it's on my bucket list. I have to admit though that my Montana is very similar. I'm glad you all are enjoying it.

[@cathybeall986]

Great video. Beautiful seeing the snow, mountains!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

[@sandyemu2280]

What a great adventure! Your friends are pretty cool.

[@madelinenorton7919]

Loved seeing Alaska thru your eyes. Laughed at the Honey Bucket. I'm in my Middle 70's and lived in Southern IL as a child. Our house was heated by a stove similar to the one in the cabin you are in exceot we used coal. There was a pump for water in the kitchen it was a 2 bedroom and a Path. Yes the old outhouse. We had chamber pots that were kept under the beds we referred to them as Thunder Mugs. Seeing the cabin reminded me of those days long ago. Enjoy your stay looking forward to more videos.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@vickywray7285]

Gorgeous scenery, you are very brave taking on the elements and lack of amenities. Stay warm!

Welcome to Alaska, our home for 37 yrs. But this summer we are selling our Sticks and Logs and everything else we can sell and leaving Alaska for full time RVing. We've been watching you guys for a couple years now. We live over in the Copper River Valley which you drove through if you drove up!

[@kellybryson7754]

Great story!
