Thanks Jennifer! That was some very helpful information you gave. I sincerely appreciate it since I had not been able to find the frostline for here! Thanks again...

Kim,

I have a book called Do it Yourself home building 
by George Nash.  In it is a diagram showing the 50
year average depth for 
frost.  South AK is 3 inches, North is 6 inches. 
According to the 
book, the foundation depth should be a minimum of 12
inches below the frost 
line.  Local codes dictate the legal minimum
foundation depth for your 
area.

Jennifer:)
