Sunday is the day that I focus on furthering my kids’ skills on skis. My daughter skis with the local 4H nordic ski club and I ski with my son during that time. The little man was first out on skis a couple of years ago. We put his skis in the tracks and he […]

Earlier this fall my daughter was presented with the challenge of creating a drawing that would be adjudicated by the Juneau Public Library in a contest that would grant winners the honor of their entry being printed into a bookmark for the library system. Out of all the 4th graders who entered the contest, my […]

More snow fell on Eaglecrest last night and I headed up to do some downhill and cross-country skiing. The sun broke through the fog just as I got to the top and I went in search of some untouched powder. I got a little mad at myself for being chicken on a steep chute, but […]

We got some snow at the elevations last night so I headed up to Eaglecrest this morning to get on my downhill skis. The snow at the bottom of the mountain was very heavy, but at the top and down to mid-mountain the snow was powdery and I managed to find some sections that hadn’t […]

I am learning to navigate on Twitter and along the way found some admired foodie writers to follow. My regard for Francis Lam was spawned when he spoke out for protecting Bristol Bay and its wild salmon resource during his days at Salon.com. While he was there I tried many of his recipes that really […]

It’s raining at sea level, but at the base of Eaglecrest snow is falling. The old icy snow on the nordic trails was frighteningly fast in places, but the little bit of fresh snow on top made for more manageable speeds. Let it snow, we need it. Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you like the […]

Today I helped herd Fourth Graders on skis around the Mendenhall Campground. They all got back on the bus relatively unscathed and I had just enough energy to go around a couple more times. The snow is really starting to break down and get mushy with lots of pinecones and pine needles mixed in. The […]

It’s time to get out with my kids on a Sunday and ski. Looking through pictures to find words, I found this. We fish for salmon in Bristol Bay, captain boats, pick and pull nets. We sell fish, save some for ourselves, and eat fish. We share this bounty with our families and friends. It […]

My Dad put me on skis almost as soon as I was able to walk and sometimes I think skiing feels more natural to me than walking. It makes more sense to me anyway because of the glide aspect that is involved. Dad, I thank you for laying the groundwork for me. I skied Eaglecrest […]

I headed up to Eaglecrest nordic trails again today and had a nice long skate ski in the warm sun. It was just like spring skiing with the snow starting to bog down where the sun is hitting it hard and really fast and icy on the snow in the shade. I think I am […]
