"Come on down 40 miles south of Anchorage to Girdwood/Alyeska - 26 FEET in December with 5 feet in the last 4 days.
Best powder skiing on the planet right now!"
Aaaahhh, how I'd love to drive through Girdwood again. It must look so beautiful there right now. BTW, DH grew up there.
Best meal I've ever had was in Girdwood. "Double Musky Inn".
Fantastic place.
I lived in Alaska from 1955 to 1961. (was there when in became a State, pretty exciting time). Still miss it, although we manage to get back up there on occassion. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember getting some super snows in Anchorage from time to time........certainly more than 11 inches in one day. We get bigger snows than that here in the Black Hills.
In honor of my favorite place, I named my Husky "Alyeska".
