http://trondsalaskaadventures.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Alaska Adventures by Trond. Sunday, November 11, 2012. November 11th, 2012. Nancy Lakes Ice Skate and Skate Ski. 16 miles, 3 hrs. Cold temperatures and little snow set up very good ice skating opportunities around Anchorage in early November. We grabbed the chance on Sunday to test the conditions on Nancy Lakes. And we were not disappointed. Perfect ice under 3 inches of fluff. Flash starting out on Tanaina Lake. Nice form! Trond Flagstad on Tanaina Lake. Sunshine and perfect conditions. Plumbing Tools a...

Scree Shark: April 2011
http://screeshark.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 21, 2011. The crust hadn't set up many places yet. I knew there was some in the Russian Lakes Area from a trip I was on the weekend prior. This trip was a mix of crust on groomed trails, variable off-trail crust, and great crust on Lower Russian Lake. Not perfect conditions, but it was great to start enjoying the short crust season! A little bit of glaciation on the Russian Lakes Trail. Prescribed burn area to provide moose with denser vegetation for browsing in the future. I explored the...

Scree Shark: February 2012
http://screeshark.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 5, 2012. 02/03-05/12 The powder hut is sweet! But don't tell anyone. I first heard about this cabin two weeks ago from a co-worker. I'm familiar with most of the walk-in cabins in South-central Alaska, so why hadn't I heard of this one? The three of us headed out from the Tram parking lot at 4pm. It had snowed over a foot since the cats left in the morning! The riding was great the next day. It was another meter powder day (albeit breezy)! The next morning the winds really picked up and ...

From a trail called 'Life': Air raid: Bomber Traverse in an 11-hour epic
http://atrailcalledlife.blogspot.com/2011/05/air-raid-bomber-traverse-in-11-hour.html
From a trail called 'Life'. Tales from the trails and far beyond: a photoblog from Alaska. Monday, May 2, 2011. Air raid: Bomber Traverse in an 11-hour epic. I had initially planned a little Valley adventure to the north with some skate skiing and road biking, but when I woke up Saturday morning I had a text on my phone from Jack about slamming the Bomber Traverse in one go on Sunday. That was all I needed to see. There are many variations of the traverse, Jack printed out the above map of our route, whi...

From a trail called 'Life': The call
http://atrailcalledlife.blogspot.com/2010/10/call.html
From a trail called 'Life'. Tales from the trails and far beyond: a photoblog from Alaska. Thursday, October 14, 2010. It’s 6 pm, the sun is falling behind the snow covered mountains, a bitter northwind is freezing my thinly covered arms, and I still can’t see the crest of this climb. It’s early October, I’m trying to make it to the high point of a moraine south of Lost Lake. I knew when I set off on this ride it was going to be rough, and now, I just want it to be over. Eventually I arrive at the lake&#...

Scree Shark: October 2012
http://screeshark.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 28, 2012. 10/27/12 Mount Monarch (7108'). The bikes didn't save much time, but the short ways we could ride helped us get to the summit earlier. This gave us more time to navigate some critical sections with some light. In the summer much of this (ATV) trail would be very muddy and unpleasant to hike or bike on. If you can look past that it's beautiful country. Nice section of the Pinochle Creek Trail. First look at Mount Monarch. Descending to Hicks Creek. Heading up the scree. The Photo...

Scree Shark: July 2012

Saturday, July 14, 2012. 6/19/12 Packrafting Eagle River - Briggs Bridge to JBER. Http:/ www.jber.isportsman.net/. Labels: Chugach State Park. 6/13/12 Packrafting Glacier Creek. I headed to Glacier Creek, with the meetup group this time. I knew the run and tried to hit all the waves, so there was no butt-scraping or getting hung up on rocks this time. We hiked in from the hotel and ended at the airport. It was a good hike to avoid a car shuttle. 0.68 kcfs/26.39 ft. Labels: Chugach National Forest. 5/31/1...

Monday, February 27, 2006. Who wouldn't be happy on a day like today? Clear, Crisp and Sunny with 6 inches of fresh dry powder to ski and run in. Posted by funhog and fundogs at 2/27/2006 06:22:00 PM. Wednesday, February 22, 2006. Pegging the fun-o-meter in Thompson Pass. Despite the socked in weather we were still able to get some turns in every day. And when the bluebird landed on our door step, we were ready for even more fun. Can you spot the other dog in the 2nd picture? View my complete profile.
