This winter we have been skiing once or twice a week after work. We are really enjoying it and actually getting pretty good at it. There are a lot of professionals (olympic and world cup skiers in Anchorage) which we cannot hold a stick to but we are on the top tier of the amateurs (Ha!) Anyways it has not been above zero degrees for weeks, then last night a storm front rolled in and the temps jumped to 40 degrees, but the winds were 40-60 mph with gust up to 95mph. Today the winds died down but the temps were great. as you can see from the parking lot everyone came out to enjoy the "nice" weather (typically we are the only ones here). Anchorage has 200 miles of lighted / groomed ski trails. Exploring these trails after work is a great way to exercise, get outside and let the traffic die down before we head home. We also skied right next to a moose tonight but the camera just could not get a good pic with the low light.
So was this like noontime? just kidding :)
