Ice Alaska 2009

Final week of the ski season this week. It is nice to be back to full on winter. Anne and Owen family organized home stays for the entire CXC team which is really nice. I am staying with Hunter and Carole Judkins and have felt very welome and at home. I am continually impressed by the hospitality of the Fairbanks community. I took Sunday as a rest day and had a great time skiing with Hunter. We went out for a really nice dinner in Fairbanks then enjoyed the Ice Alaska displays and slides.

Our house in Fairbanks is great

King Kong

My favorite

Skiing with Hunter. Hunter hasn't classic skiing in 10 years
but did great on a pair of my soft Salomons.

Carole, Andre, Hunter, Scallops and Ahi

The Ice Slides were really fun
