Erik, my ski buddy from the Park City days, and his wife Emily were in town recently. Erik really wanted to try this packrafting thing that I’m always raving about. And you know me - I’m always up for a run-n-float!

June 16: We had quite the large flotilla on Eagle River on Saturday. Ten of us hiked over Cross Pass from Girdwood and floated out in our packrafts.

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.

July 30th & 31st was forecasted as cloudy with some rain. So it sounded like a good weekend to do a sport where you are going to get wet anyway - packrafting! I packrafted on the 20 Mile River and 6 Mile Creek. So I guess you could say I did a packraft marathon (20 + 6, except that I only floated about 18 miles total).

From August 2-4 I was able to attend a training camp on Eagle Glacier at the Thomas Training Center, run by the Alaska Pacific University Nordic Ski Center (APUNSC). Since I am no longer a serious ski racer, I couldn’t justify going for the whole camp (6 days). But when it became possible to attend for a few days, I couldn’t resist the chance to get in some skiing in August, just for fun.

Sunday March 28. After receiving almost a foot of new snow in the past couple of days, I decided to head down to Girdwood and check out the backcountry skiing just east of Alyeska. I was by myself and exploring new terrain, so I didn’t venture out too far. But it was still amazing!
