Minus 10 Camping, Alaska Style!!

Gretchen and I just got back from a great night out in the Chugach mountains. We cross country skied in about 5 miles, climbing nearly 2000ft to the base of Ptmargin, North Suicide and South Suicide Peaks, at the base of a frozen Rabbit Lake. Day time temps were around Zero, the night time low dropped near -10 before my Suunto Watch screen froze and was unreadable. The morning brought a gorgeous sunrise and quick ski back out to the cars. Jasper and Jack came along, both having a great time, and providing some extra warmth in the tent. Enjoy the photos.
Peace,
Samuel
