June was grandparents month in our house. Both sets came for a couple of weeks each. One sunny Saturday my dad and I biked Resurrection Pass, 38 miles from Hope to Cooper Landing. I’ve been over that pass a number of times, but this was the first time it hasn’t been covered in snow. What [...]

On Sunday I needed to be in Girdwood for dinner, but I had just enough time for a short hike on the way there. I decided to go up Rainbow, which is one of my favorites along Turnagain Arm. The hike was great, with oodles of unexpected sunshine. I didn’t bring a camera, but when [...]

Crust skiing is hard to predict. That is part of the attraction, and it adds to the thrill when you nail a perfect crust day. 2011 was a relatively low snow year in southcentral Alaska, and it seemed that the general consensus was that the lack of snow would result in a poor crust season. [...]

I’d say that this race report is old news by now, but that implies that it actually was news at some point. In truth, I’m probably the only person who was wondering if I’d ever get time to do a write up. But I like having all these details for future reference, so I sat [...]
Last year’s inaugural White Mountains 100 ultra race was lauded as being one of the best organized, most scenic, most fun races that most of the participants had ever done. In fact, the only two complaints I heard from racers I talked to were that it was very cold and there wasn’t a lot of [...]
