Yep, I'm back!!!
Yo all I gotta say is if you can appreciate a beautiful place...Alaska is the place to visit. Talk about breathtaking views!
No damage to the body, all was well and snowboarding there was awesome. It was the worst winter with the warmest winter in the last 25 years and they have had alot of WARM weather this year, rain rain rain they said.
From the day we got there it was cold and clear, no snow but no rain either. The base at the bottom was only inches and they were blowing snow 27/7 to keep the mountain open. The top areas had a decent base but with no new snow and with alot of rain this season it was serious hard pack and easy to find ice patchs.
Above the area that you can get to by the ski lifts there is a powder section in a bowl that you can hike up into and ride/ski to the bottom. I did that 4 times on the 3rd day and it was awesome, nice deep powder, but it took no less than 45 minutes to hike the trail and I quickly was reminded how out of shape I am in!
Damn good food but forkin expensive place to go. Beer flowed well each night and there was always SOMETHING to do.
We went snowmobiling on this past tuesday, that was awesome too!
I will post a link to the pictures as soon as I have them up. Here is one for now.
See you all soon!

That is the only 640 x 480 pic, the rest are all 1024 x 768 but too large to post.
Once I have them up on a different host location I will post the link and you can grab one and resize it at will. That is one of the nicest pics and I took that same exact picture also in a 1024 x 768 as well.
