Spring Flings

I was at the airport the other day, waiting for my flight to Kodiak Island, and I overheard a guy with a southern accent tell someone on the phone, "No dude, don't come up here yet because there's still snow on the ground so you can't do anything for about another month." And I felt bad for the guy because he lives here but nobody ever told him about skiing.

Kincaid Park was good last week.

Hatcher Pass has had good ski touring.

Here's Pascale and Hannah climbing Portage Pass last weekend.

Crust skiing on the lower slopes of Bard Peak.

Not all skis will survive the spring skiing season.

There's still plenty of snow at Portage Lake.

I came across Seawolf Alumnus Toby Schwoerer out skiing with his kids in Bear Valley.

I really like Cordova. Especially in the springtime.

Tuva and Magnus took me out skiing with them at Portage Lake earlier this week.

Tuva and Maggie say: "Don't stand underneath the seracs without a helmet! They can fall at any time without warning."

Prince William Sound (the ocean). Maggie is pointing out all the places he's going to go exploring this summer.
