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.

After a week of 70 degree weather in Anchorage, we knew the end of the ski season was quickly approaching. We also knew that we needed one last good fix of the white stuff before we could move on to summer…So Bill, Scott and I loaded up the car and headed north to find crust at Broad Pass.

On Saturday, April 9, Scott and I went searching for crust. I did a recon mission south of Anchorage yesterday and found no crust, so this time we headed north to Willow and the Hatcher Pass road.

On February 19th, I tackled the Susitna 100, a 100 mile race through the frozen Alaskan wilderness. When I first heard about this race, shortly after moving to Alaska, I knew I had to do it. I love races like this.

By Thanksgiving time, the rain in Anchorage was really starting to get me down. I started dreaming of going to a lodge in the middle of the woods where I could ski all day and relax by the fire at night. After some research, I found exactly what I was looking for at The Point Lodge on Lake Louise.
