Here in Kodiak it has been cold and windy for a couple of weeks now. And the downhill skiing has not been great. The wind has blown away all the soft stuff and we are down to bumpy ice. The kind of stuff that makes your feet numb by the time you get to the bottom of the hill. And heaven help you if you fall while on something steep! It could be a long slide to the bottom of the hill.
To get my hopes up I've decided to post some classic Kodiak ski pictures. Photos that help me realize that Kodiak spring corn snow is just around the corner. We do have snow - and soon the skiing will be great again.
In the top photo Steve Wilebski skiis the bowl on Sheratin Mountain, November 2000. In the bottom photo Gregg Rosenkranz actually drops a knee on a rare powder day in April 2004. Patrick
