a bust, but beautiful




All winter I've been looking forward to skiing the Denali Highway. We finally made it down there last weekend, but only made it ~12 miles down the road before we had to turn around. The wind was absolutely howling, and it's one thing to push through that weather for an hour or two - but we still had 30 miles to go before we got to the maclaren lodge. It was disappointing to turn around, but it was absolutely beautiful out there and hard to be too upset. I am convinced this is some of the most spectacular skate skiing in the world. But, being in the heart of the Alaska range - you pay the price for the scenery with highly unpredictable weather.
