Glorious snow

In my time in Anchorage before Christmas break there was only 6 inches of snow. This left me a bit skeptical about all the hype about the great Alaskan winter. However, when I left the Lord poured forth His blessing in the form of record snowfall, and this is a little taste of what I came home to.

This is Scott, my teammate's car after Wes dug it out. If you look closely you can see the handrails just over the hood of the car are about an inch above the snow. All told there was about three feet of snow on the ground. Off of the highway I saw a fifty foot high snow pile that had been dumped from other parts of the city. Its really cool.

Wes took this picture after the snow fell. It is just really cool. Ansel Adams wishes he could have taken this shot.

This is Wes in waist deep powder. Unfortunately Wes doesn't ski so he doesn't know how to properly use powder such as this. Luckily, I brought my skis back and won't let it go to waste.
