A Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous morning
Even with the snow falling heavily, I figured that there would be some interesting action at the airport, rationalizing that flying in crap like this would be good training for military crews. So, with the snow 6-6½ inches deep on my driveway (measured with a ruler), I pulled Subie out of the garage and the dogs and I headed into town just after sunrise at 08:25.
The airport was rather quiet. This view from the 20-foot high pile of snow that we used as a viewing platform yesterday wasn’t nearly as interesting.
I went downtown to see what else was going on. The snow sculptors were about the only action yet. Below, a member of the team from Skagway, Alaska works, with a clay model of their relaxing trapper on scaffolding in front of him.
Next, the Lumistit team from Finland.
Then, back up to the airport for another try, but only a fleet of snow-clearing equipment was moving, though on my scanner I heard a medivac plane being cleared to take off to the north as I was coming up the hill to the airport.
