Hiking for Turns - December 17, 2013

James' normal schedule for his part-time ramp job at Alaska Airlines is Th/Fr/Sa. But he's also the vacation-fill-in guy.  And for the next few weeks, he's working someone else's full-time schedule and also works on Wednesdays.  He took advantage of a day "off" and prepped his ski gear for the season and then hiked up Mt. Eyak for some turns.  The rope tow has been running, but the lift hasn't opened yet).  These are pictures that James took while out and about.  Don't let the sunshine fool you, it is COLD this week.

This is Alaska in December.
