December in Alaska

Here are some belated photos from December skiing in AK. Sally and I went up for my Christmas break and had a great time catching up with family and friends. Sally skinning up on a typical day out...

I finally got to go skiing with Charlie Renfro, after more than a year of trying...
Cortney Kitchen and Tobey Carman, landlocked friends from Wyoming...
Sally at dawn...
And at dusk, just a couple hours later...
Jon Cobb and I spent some time exploring around the Mat valley...

Sam Johnson, Ben Chriswell, Cortney Kitchen and Sally stop for a break on the way up...
Sally coming through the alders...
Sam's dog Jennie spent the night of winter solstice near the top of Clive Peak because she was afraid to go down. We had to go back up the next day to get her, and luckily the skiing was just as good the second time. Jennie didn't seem the least bit phased, but she was certainly hungry!
