Eaglecrest held its annual Winter Spectacular last evening, complete with a torchlight parade and a fireworks show that rivaled July 4th’s! The weather looked like it might rain on the parade, so to speak, but it held off long enough to not make the show completely miserable. I didn’t get any shots of the torchlight parade, but I did get ideas for next year… Just wait.

First Alaska post of the new year! I spent a beautiful afternoon at Eaglecrest watching brave skiers and snowboarders doing crazy things that would likely land me in the hospital… I’m content to snap a few photos. Of course, Pittman Ridge is an awesome place to see something you just can’t see from Juneau – the other side of Douglas Island. It’s amazing to be at a spot where you can see Admiralty Island and beyond on one side and the Mendenhall Valley on the other. Definitely reminds me why I love living here.

I don’t know the proper name of this creek, only that me and my camera were in it while shooting this 360 degree panorama.
