Valley of the Moon Park
Downtown Anchorage under a southeasterly flow
A New Year Chinook blew in over the weekend bringing 40+ degree temps and unsettled air aloft. Although it's nice to head outside and leave the gloves and heavy coat at home, I hope the warm southern air blows through soon. The longer the warm weather sticks around, the worse the skiing becomes. Last winter we were the envy of our friends in Kodiak who got hit every few weeks with strong Chinooks that bypassed the Anchorage Bowl. We enjoyed monthlong stretches of crisp winter days and soft white snow, while Kodiak experienced a very cloudy and rainy winter.

Funnily enough I think this chinook hit Fairbanks and Anchorage worse than us. It never got above 41 here and we actually gained snow up high. Also we still got snow at the golf course - 4 inches of new powder on Pyramid - whoo hoooo Patrick
