With half of the year operating in likely sub-zero temperatures, you need to be ready to deal with Anchorage weather when visiting. The top advice from locals is to dress appropriately. Some situations will require thermals whilst others warrant clothes that need to be waterproof- it’s a matter of buying good quality outdoor gear and using them in the right settings. And layer up! You need to trap as much body heat in as you can with your clothes. But at the same time, you might go for a hike and the sun could warm you up, its easiest to take off a layer to stay cool. Another important thing is to bring sunglasses, either the sun will be bright or the snow will make everything so white you will be squinting!
