Forest Fair Fun

I saw a few lifties and friends at Forest Fair yesterday.

Assortment

An eagle soaring over the Forest Fair park.

Some of the new features in the Girdwood skatepark.
Also in the Forest Fair park: a free 18 hole disc golf course.
Looking up from the Motor room catwalk at chair 6 last week. Compare to this shot taken in January.
Chair 6 has a lot of moving parts, good thing we have an awesome lift maintenance crew to keep it all maintained.
Do you have any plans for Halloween? Alyeska will be hosting several events this year: a kids party at the Daylodge in the early evening, a party for adults later in the evening, and the Mystery Train.

End of Tourist Season

A cow moose and her 2 calves were checking out this statue across the pond from the tram base this morning.

There was a party last night that many mountain folks attended.

Dudley Family
McPhie Family
Although it is the end of the "height" of the summer season, the tram will still be running throughout the shoulder season, until Oct. 18. Stop by and enjoy Alyeska without all the hustle and bustle.

Forest Fair, Ash & Noctilucent Clouds

Hula hooping fun at the Forest Fair this weekend.

You can see the ash (from March's eruption of Redoubt) on the glaciers at the head of the valley.
Noctilucent clouds glow above the glaciers at 3 am last Friday night. (click to enlarge)
Interested in upcoming events? Check out the Fungus Fair and mt. bike race.

The Girdwood Forest Fair starts tomorrow. Admission is free. There are 2 stages of music. Click links for more information. Notice the earlier closing times (8pm Fri & Sat). I will be posting some pictures of the fun times. Hope to see you there!
