Earning My Turns (with a little help from others)

January 30, 2012

0

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 […]

One of Those Days

January 28, 2012

  Great temperature, good kick, good glide, fine rhythm, beautiful light, deep and even breaths, happy face meeting happy faces. A good day to be alive and out on the snow. As perfect as a big day of fishing. As perfect as a wine hitting your taste buds in just the right way. Mel

Powder, Pizza, and Pleiades XIX

  Eaglecrest opened after a two-day hiatus and it has been snowing steadily during its closure. It snowed through most of my runs today and every time I re-entered the lift line there was evidence of powder splash on my shellpants. Ooooh yeah! There were plenty of times that I could not see my skis, […]

It snowed well into the night last night in Juneau and I thought it would be a good time to go check out a trail that I have never been on when it’s snowy. A seven-minute drive got me to the head of the Dan Moller trail on Douglas Island across Gastineau Channel from Juneau. […]

Living the Dream

January 17, 2012

0

What can I say? I had a day of skiing that did not conjure dreams of skiing somewhere else in the world. We have not had precipitation of any kind to cover the ice rink state of the trails at sea level, but a drive of 20 minutes or less gets me to plenty of […]

When I Dream of Skiing…

January 14, 2012

0

Today I didn’t have to dream, instead I actually found myself on my classical skis with bombproof kick in nice dry and cold snow. Eaglecrest nailed their tracksetting and the skies were blue. This is not always the case in Juneau due to the maritime rainforest climate that can bring loads of snow if its […]
