omfg!!!!! phunk way to pull one out
Thanks for the pics, AK. I always like seeing as much of Alaska as possible.
Baby RUTH!
long live Chunk:D
Wouldn't it be sweet in that first sunset pic if there was a dude doing a huge pow turn with snow blowing up in front of the sun?
Gorgeous pics, AKPM.
Goonies never say die!!!!
How far from Anchorage is Aleyska? Is it visible in the pic?
Nice call Punk:D

Nice pics though... reminds me of Delaware. ;)
ummm well its about half an hour from anchorage, an hour from my house, its way up turnigan arm, you can actully see the pass that drops into girdwood from up there, but its exactly the oppisite way of anchorage, the snow is so different in the anchorage bnowl and the rest of the chugach, anchorage averages like 60 inches a season, with the mountains getting a wee bit more while the top of aly averages like 600 inches per year, and flying in through that pass its amazing, it'll be huge snow covered peaks then you'll hit the bowl and its like dry and super windblown.Quote:

Imagine if you keep going strait up arctic valley and you'll get to aly, its actully only 18 miles from my house as the crow flys, but it takes an hour to an hour and a half (traffic dependent) to get there, you kinda have to go around a mountain range.:D
Cool, thanks for the info. Too bad that pic is a little fuzzy, cool to see the other range in the background, and the lift descending quickly over the roll.

Heres a picture of the susitna flats, mount susitna and the chignits are in the background. town is in the foreground, as much as I get pissed off at the developement and stuff I realize that most of it is wilderness, as compared to say washington where theree are roads everywhere...

and off in the distance here you can see mount redout the volcano, it blew up in 1990 there is an awesome sequence of it blowing somewhere, its still like the size of rainer though, down that coast there are spurr, katmi, augustine, and Illiamna, all over 10,000 ft.

akpowdermonkey, where is alpenglow in regards to the crow pass trail head? Ive heard of the place, but was under the impression it pretty much blew compared to Alyeska.
I have only been to AK in the summer and did the 26 miles from eagle river to girdwood, what an awsome place. I'm quite envious that you live in such an amazing place.
My wife worked in PWS and Valdez for two summers working on the APEX project, basically studing the effects of the exxon disaster on the ecosystem.
