Can you just leave it as loose gravel? It's easier to smooth it out than reconcrete. If you want to rebuild the walkway, there are manfuactured planks that are more resistant to weather than real wood.
Your friends, being used to the area, should have better experience for the conditions up there.

Subject: [DIY] Walkway
It is finally thawing out here in Alaska. In another month, the snow should be cleared out. Last year I had to tear out a wooden walkway because it was rotted out. I was thinking of getting old cinder blocks that are broken and using them like stone for a walkway. I would then make up small batches of concrete to use as a mortar so I can shovel on a somewhat level walkway. My friend thinks it will buckle in the winters because of freezing. Is there a way to do this so it would be fairly solid and not buckle over the years? Does anyone have suggestions?
Thanks,
GB
