we decided to get out of town this weekend and ski Alyeska. we had a blast, there was no one skiing and half the mountain was closed due to low temps, -12F without a wind chill, come on that is warm! it is still -41 tonight in Fairbanks and no let up for another 10 days, very long cold snap....so we were thrilled to tele ski in the warm weather!
i have no pics skiing because my camera froze up from the wind. we did traverse and climb to the very top so we could find some powder. this is the view from the top, you can see Cook Inlet at the bottom!
Kristen(above), Trevor and Mark (Ed's 14 year old nephew visiting) were on snowboards and the rest of us telemark skied. Mark sure is one adventurous kid, he has been flying up to Alaska for years to go on crazy adventures with Ed. no complaining either, he is a fun kid.
birthday boy Ben heading towards Max's Face. Ed and Kristen had furnace problems while we were gone skiing, the pipes froze, the whole mess...Fairbanks can be trying with weeks at -40 , but we still love it.
