We went extravagant today and took the Cessna 185 down to Girdwood for a day of shredding corn snow at Alyeska Ski Resort. My wife is out of town on a girls weekend in Seattle, so her sister, and husband, and I, decided to do a little playing as well. It was a cloudless day on the slopes and my pasty white forehead took a nasty hit from the sun. We managed to get away without a single broken bone and had a beautiful flight home, the tailwind near Whiteout Glacier had us up to 216 mph ground speed. I need to do better at using the airplane for things other than work … I forget how much fun it is. Thanks Meagan and Dave for a great day, I am blessed with an awesome family !!!
