It is sunny and beautiful in Juneau and I am looking forward to getting on my skis. Today I am sharing a photograph that is full of essence. It is a low vantage point of a skate skier’s foot. I find myself amazed at how much this ski boot is expressing. There is so much […]

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 […]
