We’ll ski to the toe of the mighty Matanuska Glacier. The ski will be on and off the frozen creek and through some brush, but mostly open terrain. We’ll ski approximately 9 miles with a lunch stop at the glacier. Be prepared for cold and wind. Make sure you have lunch, water, and extra layers (especially for wind).
***For those skiing with dogs: this tour is along an active trap line. Your dog must be on a harness and leashed to you at all times! ***
Registration opens Saturday, January 28th at 10am. All day tours are $25/person. (Registration is full)
