On Friday we teamed up with Bryan, Phil, and Phil’s brother Joe to climb and ski Ptarmigan Peak. Even though it was pretty easy and really close to town, for some reason none of us had actually done it before so it was time to finally check it off the list. Winds were generally 40-60mph all day with blowing snow, in and out of clouds, and less than perfect snowpack. We made it up though, and it cleared up enough on occasion to get some good views. The snow improved a bit for skiing by the afternoon descent and overall it was a good trip. Check out the photos below! Enjoy the Chugach Peaks eye-candy!
