Why run, and deal with the pain of running after skiing when the effort is futile?

Perhaps Kaktovik? Think: one could tour through the Chugach, Talkeetnas, and Alaska Range on previously done routes, then ski even further, up into the Fortymile highlands, follow that big river for a bit up to Fort Yukon, then slog north into the Brooks Range, and if all goes well, bust through and coast into Kaktovik. Obvious resupplies and perhaps two different ski setups would be required, as would a rather questionable individual (or team) to pull off the feat in a few months, across the spectrum of Alaskan winter weather.
