Extracurricular Activities

School's almost over. This is the time of year when we usually begin to think about going out crust skiing on our skate skis when we have blue-sky days and clear cold nights.  But with this year's lack of snow, I don't how much crust skiing we'll get. Other activities are available, however.

It's never a bad idea to dig around in the snow and see what kinds of layers are under there.

 A couple days later, D and I headed north to see what the snow was like in the Talkeetna Range.

A little thin, but skiable.

A nice day to be outdoors

There have been some big surfing waves coming in to Kodiak lately.

If you don't think that's cold water, think again.

But I'm a lousy surfer and was out there alone so I got beat up, I got an ice cream headache, I got scared, and I got out.
