June 3: Last weekend, I saw that there was still a lot of snow in Turnagain Pass. So even though it only got down to 45 degrees last night, I decided to go skiing - just so I could say I skate skied in June.

On May 7, I skied a loop from Glen Alps to Williaw Lakes up and over to Lost Lake, then up to Near Point and back to Glen Alps via Prospect Heights.

April 29: This was one of those ski routes that I have drooled over for a couple of years. Always wanted to do it, but needed to go with guys who know more about glacier travel than I do. Tim Kelley and Tim Miller gave me that chance on Saturday. As always, you can also see Tim Kelley’s pics from the trip on his website.

April 16: I headed up the Glenn Highway with Tim Miller and Tim Kelley to search for crust skiing along the Matanuska River. You can also see Tim Kelley’s pics from the trip on his website.

April 15: Bill, Toby, Andy, Seth, Erika, and I headed to Turnagain Pass to see if the snow had yet transformed to a skate-worthy crust.

April 14: It seems like I’ve been doing everything twice this spring. Two times up Twentymile, two times across Arctic to Indian. And today I did my second ski up the Placer River valley. This time I went to Spencer Glacier.

April 8: The recent weather hasn’t been conducive to crust skiing (cloudy with occasional snow showers). But yesterday afternoon was sunny and it got cold last night, so I decided to give it a go this morning.

March 28-30: Crust skiing came early this year! We’ve had a good week or so of freeze/thaw cycles, so I knew there should be crust somewhere. I headed to the Twentymile River near Portage to check it out.

Sun, March 26: Linda and I skied on Portage Lake

Memorial Day weekend 2005. The forecast for Anchorage, Kenai, & PWS was for cloudy w/ rain. So we loaded up the car and headed to the only place that had a sunny forecast…Tangle Lakes on the Denali Highway.
