Skier in powder conditions

Welcome to my blog, in here you will find an ever growing list of trip reports centered around mountain sports in Alaska. I hope to inspire others to take trips of their own and discover a love for the mountains.

  • Sunburst

    My first time skiing off the top of Sunburst is a delight with powder conditions.

  • Tincan Trees

    Early-season powder attracts dedicated skiers, including a group from Snowqualmie who join in a day of tree skiing.

  • A Weekend in Valdez

    The post describes a trip to Valdez, featuring backcountry skiing, ice climbing, and a Thanksgiving dinner with new friends in a welcoming Alaskan community.
