This season, Ice Road Truckers is headed to Alaska—250 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Trucker legends Hugh “Polar Bear” Rowland and Alex Debogorski return to take on the most death-defying road so far. Hundred-foot cliffs, hairpin curves, avalanches and -70 degree temperatures are just a few of the challenges that await them. And here in Alaska, Hugh and Alex are no longer considered the kings of the road. Their co-workers at Carlile Transportation, including veteran George Spears, the “King of the Haul Road,” and the fearless Jack Jesse, know what it’s like to haul everything from giant loads of construction materials to oversized drilling rigs across the deadliest ice passage in North America, and they’re looking to show Hugh and Alex a thing or two about driving in Alaska.

Deadliest Ice Road
Day 1 of the new Ice Road season brings 6,000 loads of freight to move in just 12 weeks to the oil camps of Alaska's North Slope. From unexpected weather and treacherous terrain, this is by far the most death defying route to date.
Rookie Run
Temperatures drop to 70 below as the race for big bucks heats up. Truckers Lisa Kelly faces hurdles, Jack Jesse deals with the perils of hauling a load of 130-foot pipe and rookie Tim Freeman struggles with challenging mechanical problems.
Canadian Invasion
The clock is ticking and an arctic storm is brewing. Hugh and Alex embark on their first trip to Prudhoe Bay, Lisa Kelly requests her first ever "heavy haul," and Tim Freeman makes his second attempt to navigate the ice road.
Blinding Whiteout
A massive storm blows in and all traffic on the ice road comes to a standstill. George, Tim and Lisa take shelter at Coldfoot while Jack Jesse tries to outrun the storm.
Accident Alley
Another winter storm causes a major collision on "Slope Mountain" and tow truck driver Ben Krsykowski must carefully pull a truck cab and trailer back up on the road--knowing that the slightest spark could set off a massive explosion.
Arctic Ice
Lisa Kelly auditions to be the first woman to break into the elite Heavy Haul division while Hugh "The Polar Bear" Rowland aims for the title: master of the all the North American ice roads.
Wicked Weather
The race is on to make it to Prudhoe before a wicked storm turns fierce. Despite a cloud of ice fog, Hugh and Phil make it through the worst of the storm and celebrate at the top of Atigun Pass.
Killer Pass
Record snowfall mixed with now warmer temperatures has turned Atigun Pass into a devil's slide - slippery than ever and at an all time high for avalanche risk.
Turn and Burn
With just three weeks to go, everyone is pushing it to the limit to get the freight to Deadhorse before the season ends. Lisa convoys north with Jack Jesse while Tim and George are delayed in Fairbanks.
Ocean Run
With only two weeks left Alex is determined to take the lead. He immediately takes a back haul assignment, but the load isn't strapped securely and threatens to fall off.
Busted Parts and Breakdowns
A volcanic eruption in Southern Alaska sends Jack Jesse racing up to the North Slope with the first load of diesel reserves. Meanwhile, a major mechanical breakdown leaves Lisa stranded without heat in the frigid temperatures.
Race for the Finish
After several impressive runs this season, Lisa takes on a big haul of high explosives. Meanwhile, harsh icy conditions southbound on Atigun Pass cause Jack to spin out for the first time this season.
Arctic Thaw
As the "Dash for the Cash" comes down to the wire, legendary driver George Spears calls it a career, Lisa makes a harrowing 300-mile run with no brakes, and polar bears shut down the Ice Road.
