Beautiful Day!

It was a beautiful day at the mountain today! I snowboarded in steady snow and the sun even came out a bit, rare stuff. I came home and had some Chicken stew and then went to Mendenhall Glacier. It was snowing hard all the way to the Glacier and the clouds were dark and closing in fast. When I got to the Glacier, the sun shone over the Glacier and was dark everywhere else. Quite impressive. The Glacial ice seems to glow from deep inside when the sun hits it. Pictures do not do the place justice really. Because of the rain and the 32 degree temperatures, no cross country skiing on the glacier. I also saw a porcupine, a river otter, eagles, ravens, crows, seagulls and mallard ducks.

These pictures were taken Saturday, during the rain downpour. I will get up the sunny pictures later in the week.
