Smooth and Slow
Not long after starting I came across this trail. Groomed perfectly smooth and untouched. It was perfect, except that the snow was REALLY slow. I ended up doing more classic skiing than skating on my skate skis. Even without wax, the kick was great!

Corduroy and sunshine.
If there a better recipe for fun, I haven't found it.

I took off my pack to stage this photo. The skating was much easier without the pack.

Here, I want to introduce you to my new best friend!
You know, I used to have a hat that said Tucker Snocats on it. Man I wish I still had it.

Smooth sailing
Okay, maybe I took a few too many pictures of the trail. But if you had virtually unlimited miles of perfectly groomed snow just for you, you'd be excited about it too!

Sunset on Mounts Sanford, Drum and Wrangell.
The sun disappeared just before I finished. I skied from sunrise to sundown (which isn't hard when you only have four hours of direct sunlight).
