5/27 - On Saturday May 27th Simon Evans and I slashed the never ending spring corn at Alyeska Ski Resort, located in Girdwood 30 miles south of Anchorage. Girdwood and the surrounding areas have been experiencing record breaking temperatures for this time of year and today was no exception. The forecast predicted not a cloud in site. It was one of those perfect spring skiing days- t-shirt, lasting deep snowpack, smooth snow, and that flavor in the air only late season skiing can bring. It's refreshing to be skiing while most are in summer mode--no crowds, no powder panic, hero corn snow, mid-mountain barbequing, and drinking cold beers. Alyeska, who's season snowfall total hit 710", is still boasting a healthy 145" at the summit. On Memorial day the skiing and conditions couldn't have been better. People were even catching the last chair at 5pm. The resort will be open next weekend, June 3rd and 4th. Check out alyeskaresort.com for updated conditions. - Jason Scheben
