Today I headed up to the lower nordic loop at Eaglecrest Ski Area. Even on the mountain the temperatures were in the 40’s but the good cover we got earlier in the season is holding up pretty well. Judging by the marks on the recently groomed trail, a few folks got out ahead of me, […]

The ski conditions have not changed in Juneau, nor has my resolve to make it out as many days as possible this season. Today I went around and around the Mendenhall Campground seven times which I think amounts to roughly 21km. My legs were starting to feel pretty wobbly toward the last couple of rounds […]

As I was skiing today I kept thinking about my Great-Grandmother, Anna Chukan. She loved us in a quiet and solid way that my family misses every day, yet we know that her love abides with us still. Whether I had just come in from playing, skiing or fishing, if she were not busying herself […]

There is no new snow in Juneau, but there is still enough for skiing. It has gotten colder and the formerly wet snow has turned to icy sugar that does not want to set up very well when it is groomed. But hey, it works. I got a long skate ski in this morning […]

Despite the conditions that have conspired to wreck our skiing, there was enough cover to ski today with sunshine to boot. I made it out to the campground trail and hit it right […]

It’s just not happening in Juneau these days. 40 degrees Fahrenheit and rainy does not make for happy skier faces, so I thought I would live vicariously through my friend Clayton, who is enjoying snow in Colorado, and pass the stoke off to anybody who reads this. Are you feeling it? Clayton, I am […]

I headed up to the mountain today expecting it to be colder and drier than at sea level, but the snow up there is pretty saturated. It was deep and soft, but boggy and slow. I chose my long skis thinking that I would be able to cruise on corduroy, but even the groomers were […]

Another season in Bristol Bay has come and gone. Another year of the tides replacing the time of the clock. Ebb and flow, in and out, breathe, pulse, set, pull, and pick. Elemental strength of nature harnessed within the objects of our harvest. They come in droves and sometimes it seems as if they are […]
