It snowed this morning in Anchorage...
From the NOAA website:
...LATE SEASON SNOWFALL FOR ANCHORAGE...LAST NIGHTS SNOWFALL AMOUNTS RANGED FROM THREE TENTHS OF AN INCH NEARTHE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT UP TO 3 INCHES ON THE HILLSIDE THROUGHEARLY THIS MORNING. WHILE THIS SNOWFALL WAS UNUSUAL FOR THIS TIME OFYEAR...IT WAS NOT THE LATEST SNOWFALL FOR ANCHORAGE. IN 1964...TWOTENTHS OF AN INCH OF SNOW WAS RECORDED ON MAY 22
Ok, admittedly, winter is probably over - but with new snow on the Hillside and even in town, Peak 3 is going to be great skiing this week!
On Saturday, Andrea, Chester, and I ran the Turnagain Trail as an out-and-back from Potter - over 16 miles. Our time was around 3:10 and we were all completely wasted at the end (the hills just kept getting BIGGER...). Hopefully this will all pay off during the Crow Pass Crossing.
On Sunday, we did a nice hike up McHugh Ridge - I will try to post some pictures tonight.
