Alaska Photo of the Month – April 2009

This shot of Aaron Fetter and me was taken by our friend and ski partner, Dan Young last week as we enjoyed a day of Piper Super Cub skiing in deep in the heart of Alaska’s Chigmit Mountains. Cub skiing could be called “poor man’s helicopter skiing”, but after 10,000 vertical feet of powder in 4 spectacular runs, we felt far from impoverished! In all honesty though, I think our pilots had more fun than we did.

And for all of those wondering about the erupting Redoubt Volcano, there it is in the background blackened with ash and steaming – roughly 20 miles distant.
