I was wrong! We did get to ski this weekend and today, November 6, is one day earlier than last year -- plus we had plenty of snow right here and didn't have to drive to Hatcher's Pass! We had about 4 inches of snow overnight and already had some on the ground, so it isn't PLENTY of snow but it was ENOUGH snow to have a pretty good ski from Earthquake Park. Where we more usually ski, there are several tunnels under the roads -- the municipality shovels snow into the tunnels for skiers when they groom the trails, but that hasn't started yet, so we drove 10 minutes or so to get farther out on the trail with Mary and Lance, the couple that we rent our apartment from. Mary took these pictures of us with Cook Inlet in the background.
Judy was in a "Wisdom Weekend" for the first part of the day. The Wisdom Course is a course offered by Landmark Education, and since she hasn't been able to lead seminars up here (there aren't any), she's training to lead the Wisdom Course on the web, as that's the only online course offered at the present time. The Wisdom Course is all about building community and enhancing capacity to live a life of your own creation -- and it's fun!
Stay tuned for more snowy pictures -- let the skiing commence, seriously!
