On Sunday I saw an article in the local paper about skiing along the Ship Creek trail. So, we looked up how to get there and headed about 15 miles south of Anchorage. Apparently the really good skiing was 10 miles into the trail, so all was ended up seeing was a trail of snow broken up by fallen trees and dirt patches. We tried skiing for a while, but had to keep taking off and putting on our skis. Banjo didn't seem to mind. He raced up and down the trail and had a grand time.
Today we tried to go skiing up at flat top. This time there was plenty of snow, but we should have known when we drove into the parking lot and saw no other cars. It was incredibly windy and cold out, so we were pretty miserable. We only ended up skiing for about 15 minutes before we headed back.
The city trails are all just a sheet of ice and some puddles, but we're determined to use our new skis a few more times before spring. We've been gaining quite a bit of daylight, so maybe we can go after I get off of work this week.
