Canwell Glacier

Sam Johnson was heading back to Fairbanks at the end of his spring break, and we decided it would be fun to explore a bit around the eastern Alaska Range. We decided to try for a day of skiing up at the head of the Canwell Glacier, as we heard there was a "snowmachine highway" going up the glacier...below is Sam looking for the highway...

We first tried to ski the peak behind Sam's head, but retreated due to questionable snowpack and ended up doing some lower angle touring...
