April 14, 2007: Tim, Tim, Benji, and I encountered crust, corn, and fresh powder snow during our ski from the Peter’s Creek trailhead, up and over Bombardment Pass, and out the Ram Valley.
A couple of years ago, Scott and I tried to ski up Willow Mountain looking for crust. That time we didn’t make it, but this time Tim and I used classic skis and had better luck. Tim’s video of this ski:
Feb 18: Wow, three months since I’ve posted any trip photos. Well that about sums up my winter so far - not much fun. The skiing has been great, but I haven’t been out enjoying it much. But on the bright side, I did manage to get a jump on the crust skiing season. Today I joined Tim Kelley and Tim Miller for a ski up the Twentymile River valley.
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.
June 25: Tim Kelley and I went peakbagging in the Lynx Creek area of the Kenai Mountains. Center Creek gave us a good excuse to do some packrafting as well. Also be sure to look at Tim’s photos and comments.
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 16: I headed up the Glenn Highway with Tim Miller and Tim Kelley to search for crust skiing along the Matanuska River. You can also see Tim Kelley’s pics from the trip on his website.
