More skiing fun.

On Monday Emily, Sarah and I drove up to Hatcher Passs, which is about an hour and a half north of Anchorage (out in the Mat-Su valley). We drove to this place that use to be a mine. You can cross-country ski up to the mine, and there is a track that winds around some old buildings, and a visitors center. There weren't a whole lot of people, and I think I figured out why: it was pretty warm out (probably a little above freezing), so the snow was a little soft and slushy. We kind of lost our barings going around the track up top, so we had to backtrack to make it back to the car.

We made a stop at Target on the way home so Sarah could check it out.
