Out Ski Flying Chugach mountains, Alaska

Finally my schedule and the weather lined up to enjoy some snow. Lots of snow up high in the hills. Down low, not so much.

Re: Out Ski Flying Chugach mountains, Alaska

Beautiful! =D> =D> Glad to see the Chugach has some snow. How are the ski strips around town and the valley doing lately? We've got decent cover north of the Alaska Range, but there's been some high winter winds and you really need to watch out for hard drifts.
Cheers!

Nice one Udo. How's the snow pack look over there? I really need a ski plane again. Can I borrow yours? :)

Super sweet! Alaska is sooo much nicer than that place down south. Love the 170. :D

Re: Out Ski Flying Chugach mountains, Alaska

Thanks, Glad you enjoyed the video as much as I did the flying & editing.

I've got the GLH3000's. Definitely a very nice wheelski. Works well with the C170

Re: Out Ski Flying Chugach mountains, Alaska

I watched it, and enjoyed it, then I went out ski flying. Like going to the IMAX theater at West Yellowstone, and seeing (again) the "YELLOWSTONE" movie, which is mostly aerial footage. Then after the movie, going back out to the airport and.....flying over the park. Fun to watch, fun to do for real!
