Its Thanksgiving and we’ve had skiable snow for almost 4 weeks, so I can’t complain. But right now, the skiing isn’t nearly as good as the ice skating. Photos by Tim Kelley.

April 29: This was one of those ski routes that I have drooled over for a couple of years. Always wanted to do it, but needed to go with guys who know more about glacier travel than I do. Tim Kelley and Tim Miller gave me that chance on Saturday. As always, you can also see Tim Kelley’s pics from the trip on his website.

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.

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.

April 20. After four days of warm, wet weather we finally got a freeze last night, so Scott and I jumped at the chance to get back out on the crust. This time we heaed to the Placer River Valley. Althouth the terrain here is very flat, there are two impressive glaciers to see.
