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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

My mother is from the Naknek River district of Bristol Bay and I have spent every summer of my life there. At the age of ten I began participating in the commercial harvest of salmon with setnets. I was fortunate to know my great grandfather, Paul Chukan, who was still fishing when I entered […]

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 […]

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 […]

Today was another day that skiers dream of and wish for. It snowed pretty much all night and it was still snowing when I left the house this morning. However, while backing out of my driveway, on my way to Eaglecrest, I got stuck in the stiff and icy berm that the City and Borough […]
