Buskin Views



Lately I've been skiing at Buskin Lake - getting on at the outlet and skiing across the lake and then on up the river above the lake. Plenty of snow and the scenery is always stupendous. For a while there we almost had too much unconsolidated snow. It was almost getting too deep to move around on skiis. So the recent warmth and wet snow will actually improve things in the long haul. Still right now it is a little icy, but not icy enough to hold me up above the crust when I tried skate skiing today.

Top photo is of the lake outlet yesterday - a pretty warm dismal day (at least in the morning when I went skiing). The bottom photo is of the lake inlet today. Sunny and crisp, but still too warm for my tastes. Patrick
