I took a bit of a break from biking and did a short ski in the Angel Creek valley near Chena Hotsprings, with Tom and Remus. It was fantastic way to spend an afternoon.
Our recent snow dump has given us a fair bit of white fluffy goodness.. a little over a foot or so of new stuff in this location.
We stopped briefly at the new Lower Angel Creek cabin and peeked inside. The new cabin has wonderful view and is very large. It should make a nice option for larger groups and families. Wonderful job State Parks!
A Iditarod Trail Invitational writeup is coming soon, I have been slacking.

Dude… I’m forever envious. I love/hate following your blog!
Thanks! I was getting sick of fresh snow (pushing one’s bike for 70 miles in soft snow does that), but for skiing it is great.
I hear you on the bike pushing; never fun. I just moved from NYC to the sticks outside of Baltimore, in MD. I am loving it out here! Hopefully I’ll get some xc skiing in myself, this coming winter!
