Most of the country is sweltering in the dog days of summer, but some parts of Northern Alaska picked up their first dustings of snow over the last couple of days. It’s a sight for these sore skier eyes.

It doesn’t look like tons of snow fell, but some is better than none, am I right?

Even the frosted white tips of mountains over 4,000 miles away is enough to quench my thirst. Especially since it’s on this continent.

It won’t be long before snows are blanketing our mountains here in the Lower 48, and I’ll be throwing my own little party when that happens.

Snow/winter/ski season can’t come soon enough.

Hang in there, friends.
