Two of Steve's co-clerks, Rebecca and Henry, love to go backcountry skiing. You may remember them as the folks we hiked with in the fall in Eagle River:
Anyway, backcountry skiing is pretty much what it sounds like. You put these special things on your skis that allow you to hike/slide up the mountain. Once you get up a bit, you ski down. Then you go up some more, ski down. Etc. Or at least this is what we hear it is like. We've never done it because Tammy prefers to have life take her up the mountain, and Steve prefers to ski on flat land.
Rebecca and Henry went out skiing last week and Rebecca got an awesome video showing the views you can get when you get off the beaten path and forge your own trail. Steve begged her for it, and now we have it to share with all of you!
So there you have it, real Alaska beauty from a place unchartered.
We're hoping to hike this weekend! Keep your fingers crossed for warm weather!
