Flight to Kenai and Hilltop Skiing

Had a great day, yesterday. I got a call at noon from a friend who needed to drop his plane off in Kenai and needed a ride back to Anchorage. I flew down to pick him up. This was the first time I have landed at Kenai. As I arrived, it was pretty windy but the winds were not too far off the runway heading. It took about an hour to get to Kenai and a little over an hour to get back to Lake Hood.



Taking off from Kenai.

Then, in the evening, John S. and I skied at Hilltop. The sun was going down across the inlet and the mountains above us were lit up. The snow wasn't great but still okay. I wish we had been skiing up here before!

Iditarod 2008

Unfortunately, I didn't get the skis installed on my plane so I was left looking at the Iditarod Trail and race from the air. Next year, I will be on skis and will land on the river to watch the race go by. I did see a couple teams.
