From August 2-4 I was able to attend a training camp on Eagle Glacier at the Thomas Training Center, run by the Alaska Pacific University Nordic Ski Center (APUNSC). Since I am no longer a serious ski racer, I couldn’t justify going for the whole camp (6 days). But when it became possible to attend for a few days, I couldn’t resist the chance to get in some skiing in August, just for fun.

After the scorching heat in McCarthy, we were dying to get on the water. So we headed to Valdez for a sea kayaking tour (and a shower).
