June 18: Linda and I have really been hitting the packrafting hard this summer. They really are the coolest things ever. With snow still in the montains, we’ve been doing a few short, road-accessible creeks to practice our skills. Still can’t figure out how to snap photos in the rafts without soaking the camera, so all I can show you are the maps.

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.

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.

April 3 & 4, we went to Sheep Mountain Lodge for the Oosik Classic Ski Race. The race itself was hectic – we drove up the morning of because I was sick the day before. So we didn’t get many pictures of the race, but we took plenty the next day to make up for it.

In early December we rented a cabin on Nancy Lake. The ski to the cabin was very short (15 minutes) but the next day we went for a 3 hour tour on the snowmobile trails.
