In the midst of enjoying the bounty of rich and hearty dishes at this time of year, I've noticed a peculiar thing happening in my wardrobe. You see, it's shrinking. See the recipe.

Alaska Ski Swap Gears Up for Winter with Some Improvements

The Alyeska Ski Club and the University of Alaska Anchorage Ski Team present the annual Alaska Ski Swap Nov. 10 at the West Anchorage High School gymnasium.

Why I Love Talkeetna, Alaska

Talkeetna is one of my favorite places in Alaska… It has something, something special. There’s the appeal on the surface; it’s a small, charming town on the edge of the wilderness. Why should you visit? Where should you stay? Where you should you eat? What are the sights to see? Read more.

Moose Research Targets Calf Survival

Moose calf mortality is a big concern among state wildlife managers. AK Fish and Game has data indicating that 83 percent of collared moose calves died in one Kenai game unit alone. But moose researcher Vic Van Ballenberghe, who has spent more than three decades studying moose in the Denali Park area, has his theory of how a strong calf can be the result of choices a cow moose makes long before that calf is conceived. KSKA's Ellen Lockyer has more.

Mudrooms on KSKA

Inspired by Arctic Entries in Anchorage, Juneau began its own live storytelling event called Mudrooms last November.

AK: Bees

Surviving winter in Alaska is not easy for us humans, and for honeybees, it’s even harder. Honeybees don’t naturally exist in North America. And in northern climates the flowering season is too short and the winter is too long. But a few dedicated beekeepers in the state are working on ways to keep their hives alive, despite the obstacles.
