Casey and I booked a public use cabin near a frozen lake for New Years, which potentially requires a two mile hike in the snow to access. We've been living a rather sedentary lifestyle over the holidays, surviving mostly off cookies and other baked goods, so we thought it might be wise to go on a few practice walks in the snow before trekking out into the wilderness. The photo above is from yesterday's walk around Ester Dome. It just so happens that we picked the coldest day this winter to do it; for the first time this season temperatures dropped below -20F at the Fairbanks International Airport. A few things we learned: Reef's paws get cold easily and he's a big baby about it, and snow shoes are a must.
