By somewhat popular demand I am starting the thread for 2011-2012. So here's to more snow than last year...

Come snow! Come snow!
Fall fast, fall slow
be it powder or crud,
Let the inches be shown
Come snow! Come snow!
Blessed ULLR bestow
Make white our peaks
Make full our bowls
Come snow! Come snow!
From here to fro
Let the snow god be praised
Let his gifts be shown

Skiing freshies on the Lane Glacier on 8/14/11!

Where's the snow? Snowbird? Jewel? Anybody get out this week?
If no snow... is Aly still running lifts for mtn biking?

I did the Alyeska Climbathon today, and there were a bunch of bikers getting muddy on the trails.

On the drive home, I took a peek to my left at the Tesoro. Boo-yah. Carpathian looks ready for some love! And the Girdwood valley peaks had some fresh up high, as well.

I'm not ready, but I'm ready. You know?

Summer can fade away. Sooner the better. Getting muddy at Alyeska is fun but mud doesn't have anything on powder. My wife is starting to think I'm crazy walking around in ski boots and waxing skiis. And besides I've caught all the fish I'm not going to eat that I need to for a lifetime. Kodiak can do that to a guy after a few years.
