Fly By

Skiing in Alaska can be as good as it can be anywhere, it also can be trying at times with poor weather being the norm. Wind has been a culprit this early season and finding the goods has at times meant finding supportable crust instead of breakable. Snow totals are low to date high up in the zone, the glaciers are more open than normal for the time of year and some ski runs that are often the norm are instead the not a chance in hell variety. There are good times to be had though with very good snow down low in the trees actually, to sea level. From the ski hill at Mt Eyak, to ski touring, to speed flying and ice climbing, recon and just being in the zone again, its good to be in Cordova.
