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.

Two times in two weeks.
On March 25 a group of six of us did the classic backcountry ski from Arctic Valley to Indian.
On April 9, Linda and I skied it the opposite way with another group.

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.

April 1: After a few days of crust, the overnight temperatures this weekend warmed up and the skies threatened rain and snow. So instead of crust skiing, I headed north to the Willow multi-use trails.

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.

On March 11, Linda, Cory, Lou, and Phil took a trip on the Curry ski train. The snow conditions weren’t great, but it was still a fun trip.

We’ve skied at Hatcher Pass lots of times - all on day-trips. But on Thanksgiving weekend, Linda & I decided to make a weekend of it and stay at the Hatcher Pass lodge. Three days of skiing!

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.
