It's hard to believe that we are wrapping up another season here at Alaska Alpine Adventures. It seems like just yesterday we were prepping gear, looking over maps and getting ready for the the hectic schedule that comes every summer. Now, the house is mothballed for the winter, the van's are in storage, and Dan and I are settled back into our winter office routine. There is termination dust on the mountaintops, and it's only a matter of time until Anchorage sees its first substantial snowfall.

As I look back on our season, I can't help but smile. We took our guests to the most remote and spectacular places in the state, and explored corners of our National Parks that truly took our breath away. It is always amazing to share these wild places with new guests as well rekindling friendships with guests that are returning for their 4th or 5th trip.

We had a great crew this year, with the best batch of new guides I've seen in a long time, as well as a solid group of returning guides. They have all headed back to the lower 48, on to winter jobs, school or further adventure.

So, if you're in the neighborhood, and are looking to chat about past or future adventures in Alaska, swing by our Spenard office and pull up a chair.

Thanks for a great season!
