The winter has been excellent all during February - mild, light snows to keep the ski trails fresh, and even a full moon last night! Fur Rondy this weekend and next meant sprint dog races this weekend and the start of the Iditarod next Saturday!

And then there was the parade -- lots of things going on around town . . . carnival, dog sled rides, blanket toss, fun run . . . then fireworks early evening as it got dark.

Dog Sled rides around the park 3 blocks from our house!
A great weekend for skiing again -- Saturday was a late afternoon skate ski on the Chester Creek trail, then home for scallops and salad before walking up to the symphony for an evening concert. A light snow, and we could even see the fireworks from our window, even though we didn't have time to get downtown far enough to see them up close. The Anchorage Symphony was a great program last night from Beethoven to Ravel with a young composer with a very different composition for cello in-between. Then today a classical ski on the Campbell Creek trails, and the tracks were perfect. Weather forecast is for right around 30 degrees all week - so mild and an easy winter! |
