Today was my first big trip outside of Anchorage. We had every intention of waking early to drive the 40 miles to Alyeska Ski resort and watch the USSA Giant Slalom competition. However, a few beers the night before prevented an early departure, and we missed it. But the drive down was unbelievable. I am constently amazed by the beauty surrounding me. Gorgeous snow covered mountains towering over the mostly frozen Cook inlet. Frozen waterfalls scattered haphazardly throughout the canyon. Trees incrusted with ice crystals that form perfect stacked ice structures. I feel truly surrounded by God's hand. My first week here has been quite cold, but also awe-filled.
