    Haines Alaska

    day 1
    wake up

    hike


    ski








    day 2 storm day - head to the trees


    day 3 cat day


    get back in the silver box










    interlude - had a bad bear hanging out this summer so the bear ended up in jars - which made some great bear-itos.




    day 4 camera no workie day - it was good... maybe photos later from the other camera.

    day 5 heli day

    heading up we realized that neither one of us had been in a heli for anything other than work.

    first heli run ever


    for scale: there are people on the summit and a skier on the shoulder
    zoom-in of the lookers right rib


    we found some pow










    then some more pow






    how everyone felt at the end of the day

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    Everything about AK looks ridiculous. The crevasse in the 4th picture after "we found some pow" looks like a big bear footprint or something. Not like I'm gawking at pictures of the crevasses though, that skiing looks top notch! Was it blower the entire time?!

    Dude you totally ate a bear.
    Do you by chance happen to own a large, yellowish, very flat cat?
