Treadwell Mine in the snow

I went cross country skiing just a bit ago and took these pictures. We had 6 inches of new snow. The last big icicle just dropped and scared the crap out of me. It nudged the window as it went just to say goodbye. The cross country skiing was excellent - I just went outside my door to ski. it is so great to be able to ski whenever. This is why I came to Alaska. I hope it stays this way all winter.
