Here is a QuickTime animated slide show of some of the images from past ski trips - “Making It Look Easy” (80+ Mb. For a compressed version try this smaller one).

The 13th Annual Ski Trip - Alta Utah Feb. 2010
Sallie, Tracy & David

Went to Alta from the airport and got in an afternoon before the big storm. Woke up early and took the bus up to Alta with 11 inches of power.

We went up Big Cottonwood Canyon to cross country ski at Solitude and of course have drinks at the village.

Tracy & David did an afternoon of downhill at Deer Valley while Sallie did the nordic track in Park City.

We skipped 2009’s Annual - oh well.

The 12th Annual Ski Trip

Grande Targhee, ID. April 14, 2008
Sallie, Tracy & David

Wakie, Wakie, time for Freashies!

Tracy gets a new ski jacket - about time!

David just went out to ski the weekend at the resort, got dumped on, skiied 6 -8 inches of freshies, with first tracks on a few slopes. Tracy got very sick and couldn’t go on the back country hut trip. She got better at the end of the week and went out to meet Sallie and the others in the hut.

Follow me over there - for freshies...

Yes - that’s our fresh tracks!

33rd Wooden Boat Festival

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 09:25:00 -0700

The annual wooden boat festival in Port Townsend, WA. Let me explain.... no let be sum up.
Admission $12, fresh squeezed lemonade $3, grilled salmon and greens $12, getting sunburnt on the docks in September... priceless.
Oh Yeah - it was sunny with a big blue sky and a warm breeze - the kind of day that you would be willing to pay for with 10 months of rain.

Bows & sterns, sterns and bows...

Yes it’s time to rodeo - a drift boater’s dream.

What a nice stern on that lady!

Cut ’em thin to win.

A jelly fish - looks like a fried egg.

Take a walk on Hudson Point... see Mt Baker in the distance.

A nice two person sculling craft.

Tracy Arm

Wed, 5 Aug 2009 19:07:28 -0700

Wednesday, 5th August - Tracy Arm Fjord
We sail into the Fjord of Tracy Arm. Now why would they name a Fjord after Tracy’s Arm? But Wikipedia has it wrong: “It is named after a Civil War general named Benjamin Franklin Tracy.”

John Muir compared Tracy Arm to Yosemite valley, saying this region was more spectacular. There are big granite walls here that climb right out of the water.

Look at the scale of that glacier, there is a large ship in that picture, among the ice bergs.
