resurrection pass

Finally I made it to Anchorage for Thanksgiving! For years, Toby and Darcy have skied the 41 miles over Resurrection Pass on Thanksgiving weekend with good friends and a full holiday meal. This was my first time joining the tradition. Seven of us started out from Hope, three of us skied all the way across, two joined from Cooper Landing. The snow was sometimes thin, the downhills fast and scary. But the sun was out, the skiing was fast, and the food and company couldn't be beat.
