There are no vehicles in Alaska. It is post policy that you buy dogs and a sled to get to and from work.

CW4 Keith Dolliver the policy is somewhat vague. Dogs and sled are the preferred method of travel through the snow - but if you must, you are allowed to go dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh.

4x4’s and front wheel drive vehicles are best but all vehicles can get around. You’ll need to get an engine block heater install. Get studded tires or put chains on your tires. I recommend studded snow tires, then chailnge them out after breakup. Motorcycle riding probably from May - September.

Simple answer is yes it will work. But that also depends on tires and possibly chains when needed. No doubt 4x4 and FWD would be best. But I’ve seen everything in Alaska. Just drive to the conditions. They do a fairly good job taking care of their roads in the bigger cities like Anchorage and Fairbanks.
