October 13: It was probably our last weekend of nice weather before winter sets in, so I really wanted to go packrafting. So what if the water is already freezing?

August 5: Linda, Scott and I did a hike up the new Winner Creek trail in Girdwood. From the pass we went down the other side and floated out the Twenty Mile River.

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.

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.
