Clear and Cold

More Clear and cold conditions making some fantastic surface hoar. Fields of spikey and flakey surface hoar producing some fantastic touring conditions underfoot.

Letting Nature Run Wild

We are not getting much snow but we are seeing some nice surface hoar.

High Pressure Systems

High pressure systems are nice for sunshine, crisp snow, and great skiing.

Sunset over Turnagain Arm and Cooke Inlet.

What makes a dog go faster?

...The smell and sight of moose. Out for a skijor on a sunny and cold day but not many moose, not like yesterday where we had to peel them out of the trail to get by.


Babe pulling hard...



Nicki skijoring with Babe.



Ganik and Valley pulling me!


That's right, that's Ganik pulling. He seemed fine on an even or groomed snow filled trail while out walking, made us think of trying him skijoring again. Now he seems fine afterwards. Having him around gives Valley so much more confidence.

A chance to go ski moose

Moose rut hasn't finished and we decided to go ski some moose. You'll see they get upfront and rather personal.


Valley looking forward to moving upstream to see some moose.




This guy was pushed down on us by some folks trying to move down the trail. Pretty gosh darn close.



Slithered by her on the way back home. Stop, let her look at me, when she goes back eating...move, stop when she looks at me, when she goes back eating...move ... you get it, moved very slowly keeping her eating and not engaging with us. This is the size of the moose, no zoom on the camera needed...



Same moose, different view :)
