Ski Trip to Whistler/Blackcomb
A ski trip to Whistler/Blackcomb in British Columbia with Ralph, Thomas, Stephanie, Mike and Nanci turned into a hiking/touring trip in the absence of any significant snow. Sadly, California was getting loads of snow while we were away! And now we will *never* let Ralph live down all his talking up of Whistler that he subjected us to prior to this trip! ;-)
Exploring Southcentral Alaska
This is a collection of images from a three week trip to the southcentral portion of Alaska. The first six days were booked with Alaska Wildland Adventures to explore the Kenai Pennisula and involved a series of separate guided day excursions while staying at a couple of lodges. (This flexibility was helpful since a different outfitter cancelled a week-long group trip at the last minute.) The middle ten days were arranged through REI Adventures and handled by Alaska Alpine Adventures. This guided group trip passed through Prince William Sound, visited McCarthy/Kennicott, traveled the Denali Highway, and included three days visiting Denali National Park. The final three days (and a couple of intermediate days) were on my own.
