A GREAT DAY! The weather was 20 degrees +, no wind and up to a foot of new powder snow. I had to decide if I wanted to hit the slopes or cross country into Mendenhall Glacier. I figured Mendenhall Lake would be totally frozen and I was right. I just brought my cross country skis back yesterday. I went for the Cross Country trip. I knew I would have to put chains on to get to the Ski Slopes too.
It was so wonderful!!!!!! I skiied into Mendenhall and touched ice which is 200 years old! How amazing is that! Kallen: I think I finally figured out why I like to work. It is allowing me great opportunities to do the outdoors stuff which I thrive on.
I have loads of pictures of skiing through the woods, on the lake and of the glacier.
My truck, with a broken back window, drove like a champ - didn't chain up. Hooray!
Back to work tomorrow. What a great way to end a vacation. (Skied had one i but it looks wrong to me.) I feel like a competent cross country skier but I do like learning snowboarding- Thank you Ashley for insisting that I learn it. I am going to be sore tomorrow or Tues. My body is saying, "What did you do?" already.

It sounds lovely and so peaceful. I can't get over the age of the glaciers. Nature is truely amazing.
I envy you with your work and ability to be outside. That is what I miss so much. I go out for coffee and don't want to go back into my office.
Enjoy the great outdoors and your first day back at work.
I have spent time jealous of those who could go outside and have coffee while on the job. When I enter my school, I am there until I go home. I do volunteer for recess duty which gets me outside but that is about it.
Yesterday, at 4:30 PM in Juneau, it was as dark as 8 PM in Oregon. It gets dark very early here.
