On Sunday April 11, Scott, Taz (the dog) and I did a fantastic crust ski from Glen Alps trailhead. We skied around Avalanche Mountain, going up and over three passes along the way: Ship Pass, Indian Creek Pass, and Powerline Pass. I forgot the camera, so we don’t have any photos of the spectacular scenery. All we have is a map of our route. Sorry!

At 6 am on Saturday morning, Linda and I, and 700 other skiers, boarded the Alaska Railroad for the annual Ski Train. The train ride was a three hour trip to a place called Grandview. Grandview isn’t town - there is nothing there. It is just a remote spot in the middle of the Alaskan mountains that happens to have unreal skiing. Once in Grandview, everyone gets off the train, and skis all day.

A four-day bike trip along the 140 mile (or so) Denali Highway from July 31 to August 3, 2003 with our friends Scott and Jessica. Scott and Jess planned this trip and were nice enough to invite us along.
came back from a trip to the Grand Canyon with an idea for an epic run: run the Grand Canyon from rim to rim. Immediately, we were all intrigued. Sounded like an adventure right up our alley.
After months of big talk, Eric, Scott, Erik, and I tackle the Bike Ride Of Death (BROD) on July 14, 2001. It was 120 miles and something like 13,000 feet of vertical. I didn’t do a write-up of this epic, because Eric Maas did one. But now I can’t find his to link to it. I’ll see if I can track it down.
In the meantime, I made mention of it on XCSkiRacer.com - scroll down to July 14.
