Perfect winter weather finally found it's way to south-central Alaska. The weather this winter seems to swing between hurricane winds and arctic freeze. The snow has been abundant but so many days and evenings it's been hard for me to motivate to get out into the cold or wind. At the beginning of last week, the thermometer rose to the teens. Then by Wednesday it was freezing rain. Sanity returned with 20s and heavy snowfall all day on Friday. By the end of the day we had 16" of fluffy white snow at our house and the nearby park.
On Saturday the skies started to clear and we headed to a trail network that we haven't skied yet this year. It seemed like everyone else did, too. Any sane Anchorage resident was out enjoying the perfect combination of fresh snow and mid-teens temperatures. We had never seen so many people skiing here and were surprised at how packed the trail already was. We were all smiling and friendly. This is why we live in Alaska.

Yup, I was there that day, too. Nice photo! Do you have a "follow" button on this blog, too? Couldn't find it.
Hi Katey ~ I don't have a follow button. a few people follow and have done it the 'manual' method from their dashboard. ~corinne
