Over and out…

April 25th, 2008

Hello everyone! What a great season it has been! So many things to ponder on and unreal to think that our 10th season in Cordova has just come to an end. Where does time go? We will now anxiously await next year and count the days until we return to our little piece of heaven here. Thanks to so many people for making this year one of our best! The weather played tricks on everyone all season in true AK fashion, but everyone did get to ride each week and we just closed the season with one of the best weeks ever! I can hardly wait to see the Warren Miller film this fall. Its going to be good! From all of us here at PNH, Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you! Enjoy the collection of photos from the season! Quinner and Jess…

6 Beautiful Days!

April 24th, 2008

Wow, what an amazing week it’s been here at PNH. We have had 6 beautiful days with really fun snow, great lines and a fun crew in house. Warren Miller has wrapped up the PNH segment and it’s going to be a good one, maybe the best yet! Guest’s are starting to feel the leg burn and craving a visit to the local watering hole, the “Reluctant Fisherman” for some fish and chips! One group yesterday got 17 runs…it’s 9am and I still have not seen a soul walking around yet! Here are some photos from the last few days of riding! Enjoy and Happy Birthday to our guide, Will Paden.

“Alaskan Ladies” continues for PNH week 9

April 20th, 2008

What an amazing day in the Chugach with 5 ripping chicks! The snow is getting better on a daily basis so we were able to get after it and get on some fun peaks! It’s was pretty special having representation of all the different means of riding…a tele skier, snowboarder and 3 skiers. Not to mention they all blew my mind with their abilities!

We had a pretty special buddy join us, Maddison Page. Maddie was introduced to us by our good friend at Squaw Valley, Savannah, who informed us that Maddie was recently diagnosed with a very advanced form of cancer. Her dream was to go heli skiing and she was able to not only live that dream, but I can honestly say “slayed” the Chugach. Our ending run was Mihiaella (the big peak on the attached photo). For more information about what Maddie is going through, please check out www.maddisonpage.blogspot.com. If your in Tahoe / Squaw Valley May 10th, it would be great to see you at the benefit being organized in her honor. She is a beautiful, bright, energetic lady and all of our thoughts and prayers go out to Maddie. It was truly an honor for Kevin and I to share the Chugach with her. The attached photos are from our amazing day!

Great snow, Mono Skis and Maritime Festivities

April 19th, 2008

We have had a great few days of skiing in the zone. With cold temps at night and warmer temps during the day, it has made the snow much better than excepted. Groups are finding smooth skiing snow out in the zone. Make sure to check out Lee Dube hucking in the Chugach, he’s the mono maniac for sure! There is also some great shots of the Warren Miller crew getting after it…the segment is shaping up to be amazing!

It was the last night of the Maritime Maid so we partied in style with a huge Alaska crab and halibut dinner on the beautiful vessel.

Maritime Maid and Warren Miller

April 14th, 2008

The Maritime Maid arrived a few days ago in full force! Warren Miller has gotten to PNH and the action has begun. We have been enjoying the beautiful boat and wait, did I mention that our heli fit’s perfectly on the stern of it? As far as the zone, we had a big wind event in the Chugach but with cold temps at night and warm temps during the day, the snow is turning soft and powdery.

Alaskan Ladies and Marco wins Arctic Man

April 12th, 2008

Great start to week 8 with an awesome crew in house. Alaskan Ladies started this this week and all the ladies are super fun, great skiers and have a ton of energy. I cannot wait to have a fun week with them.

We had a good day in the zone yesterday with deep snow. We had fun at the local watering hole last night where Buddy Love got to meet the new crew in house. It was guide George’s Birthday yesterday so we were able to celebrate with him in style.

The weather today is calling for more snow and it’s suspected to be on us for at least 12 to 24 hrs so everyone is heading to Mt. Eyak.

The satellite looks promising after that! We also just received some exciting news that Marco won the Arctic Man! Good job Marco.

Cordova gets Dumped on

April 10th, 2008

Huge snows fall overnight. We woke up this morning to some of the deepest snow I have seen for this time of year. Helicopters, van’s, etc all had to be dug out! Crazy times!

Tom Day showed up for the start of another Warren Miller segment with Seth Wescott and Marco Sullivan. Marco is at the Arctic Man right now and comes in on the 15th along with the Maritime Maid. It’s great to have Tom and Seth back at PNH!

Skiing and Bonfires

April 8th, 2008

Great day today with all groups in the field and some amazingly deep snow! Toward the end of the day, weather quickly started moving in and pilots Jay, Noah and Ken did an amazing job of getting everyone out of the field just in time for the snow to start falling. Everyone came home with big smiles and good memories. That night we had a huge bonfire and Spoon got to have some fun making sure it kept blazing!
