Friday evening we walked home from Movie Night at school under overcast snow clouds. The temperature hovered right around freezing. As we fell asleep the wind picked up and that beautiful frozen precipitation started to fall. We awoke Saturday morning to about one inch of snow. By noon there was two inches and the storm started to clear.
The pictures below are from a quick hike up the banks of the Chandalar River.
Jack was totally pumped to get more snow, especially the moist south central style snow.
Abby & River decided they would join us. Where is Arin?
The river only frozen in a few spots, actually held some snow on the surface. A local later told me were at least another month away from walking/skiing/snow machining on the river.
River blending in with her surroundings, enjoying playtime with friends.
The Arctic Village School as seen from up river about 15 minutes.
The storm cleared, and the sun was blinding reflecting off all the new white snow.
How many dogs can we get in the self timer shot?
My favorite nearby mountain.
Possible ski terrain? We'll see!
