Tuesday was our last day in Alaska, and in the morning we rode the tram to the top of the mountain--straight up about 3,000 feet (at least I think that's what the guy said).
I've been skiing since I was about six years old, but I'm not sure I'd want to ski here. This mountain is STEEP!
Take a look at the view from the top--breathtaking! They get a lot of snow--last year 79 feet at the top of the mountain. I can't quite imagine that!
That's an arm of the Pacific Ocean in the background. Ocean, mountains, snow. Pretty incredible!
you don't look as bundled up as i did. could you stand the cold?

What great pictures! So glad to hear that you had a nice trip.
I loaned my copy of Living Simply to my sister-in-law -- she loved it. She is buying copies for 3 of her closest friends. I cannot wait for your next book -- please let me know as soon as it is available.

That looks absolutely gorgeous. Hubby and I are skiers and I look at that snowy peak and fancy giving it a go! Don't get much of that here in the UK though!
