About the blog: Alaska is a wonderful and fascinating place. Whether its backcountry hiking, coastline kayaking or dining on a downtown deck, there truly is something for everyone. This blog picks up where the annual Daily News Visitors' Guide leaves off. The guide is published in late April, but that's just when summer fun starts heating up. Throughout the year, we hope to give readers a look at Alaska through local eyes. The blog also serves as a calendar of what's going on, a place to look for some outstanding vacation deals and other cool stuff. We invite your comments and your questions. E-mail me at alaskology@adn.com.
About me: I live in Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, and I'm the special sections editor at the Anchorage Daily News. My wife and I have been Alaska residents since 2000 and never plan to leave.

It was a great winter weekend.
We probably received a foot of snow the last two days. We had so much snow that Gina I decided to forgo a trip to Hillside cross-country trails this afternoon and just skied from the house down the bike trail. It was super.
Street crews will probably have the trail plowed clear in a day or two, so we had to act quickly if we were going to enjoy a no-car ski day. We went down the bike path to Forsythe Park and then made a loop through the snow-covered park.
It was a winter wonderland. And the forecast says it's supposed to be 5 to 10 degrees tomorrow, so I guess it'll stick around for a bit.
