The north wind is blowing here today. It feels like the last of winter moving out, making room for spring and all of its mossy green moisture and bird chatter. We are heading up to the Brooks Range earlier than usual this year. We are supporting a film project in Cape Krusenstern in mid-April and later in the month Michael will be guiding the Winter Snowshoe Adventure in Gates of the Arctic National Park.

This photo was taken last week near the Nadahini River in British Columbia, just an hour north of Haines. It looks a lot like the Brooks Range in spring, a special time of subtle change and brilliantly sparkling snow.
