They've built one in Chena Hot Springs near Fairbanks in recent years. I don't know if they are going to build it again this year.

In Alaska the Cold War was often just that - as this recruiting poster indicates. The aircraft in the background is the C-123 Provider, one of the largest aircraft ever to be ski-equipped for landing on ice and snow.
I didn't realize they needed to be rebuilt yearly! golly! Just assumed they were far enough north to be year round. Economically don't know how they do that without charging 100K /night for a room! thanks for pix
