Spring in Cordova

Come spring Cordova fills with people chasing fish. Locals come out of hibernation and start thinking about how anoying all these people are.
A strong winter left water temperatures colder than normal and lots of snow left for some great corn turns during the long daylight hours.

Recon Mission

The day following the close of the heli-ski season some of the guides got a bit of a tour, a recon mission to see what potential the range holds for the future. The terrain is limitless! George and I loving it.

Valdez Terrain
The Prize

HUGE!

Hillbilly Bob- Look close for a track.

The Sphinx

The Scott Glacier melding with coastal clouds.

Out on the Ice

A long stint of good weather came at the end of the heli season and we were able to reach out to more distant, ice filled areas of the Chugach. The price of the strong high pressure was high winds at the start which caused some distress to the snow surface. No complaints though.

Toed in, under power landing on Pontoon's flank- Toon Town. North FunkytownFred.
Very good ski run!
Strictly for pilot reference of the snow surface. Tagging Valdez terrain.
Looking down OZ with firm snow.
Massive Mihiela.
