So after acting like a fugitive with my bags packed by the door I finally got to grab them and head down to Girdwood on Wednesday right after morning training to get to Alpine Air to fly in to the glacier. We had 4 days of great skiing up there. Typically June on Eagle Glacier means blue skys, red klister, and 30 spf. This year we didn't see the sun until the last day and were kicking on blue hardwax for the first 2 days! I've been going up there since the mid 1990's and used hardwax once and it was more the klister in a can variety, so that was pretty sweet. So 4 days of skiing, 1 distance, 2 intensity days, and 1 long day on great tracks. I really can't remember skiing on that consistently nice of trails up there, good stuff.
I also turned 30 on our first day up there. A great day back on snow and a couple of the girls made a two big cobbler's with a candle 30 on them and my old man lungs managed to blow them all out, a relief...
Now back to dryland for a few weeks before heading back up at the end of the month. I also have a quick trip to Seattle for the weekend for a family reunion and a weekend off from training.
