Portage Glacier

Portage Glacier

For real this time! We actually made it. It took us about four hours of skiing to make it but the view was worth it! Plus we got to enjoy the 40 degree weather and I got five shades darker. It was pretty awesome. Other than our balcony window (where I totally strip down to nothing and lay out while the sun is around) spring skiing is the only suntanning we can do without freezing our booties off. Aaron was making fun of me for stripping off my pants half way through the lake, but my friend Amiee went the next day and she took off her top so she could get some sun on her back. lol. At least I'm not there yet! Thank goodness you can see for miles around, and she did put her top back on when she could see someone coming.

About half way across and no one around for miles. We def. can no longer see the car. It's so funny because from the car it looks like an easy walk out there. Once you get started it looks like you haven't gone anywhere. Boo to optical illusions!

 Awwweee...made it! It's so pretty and cool and soooooo blue!

This one shows how big it really is. We were skiing over big cracks and huge ice chunks to get closer. That should have warned us...we even could see where it had broke through to the cold water from the lake...that also should have warned us not to go closer...but Aaron really really wanted to touch it....so we got closer and closer. And then it started calving and growling and we decided we got close enough and Aaron settled for touching this glacier instead. lol. It did come off of the big one a couple of days ago.

No apple ever tasted so good. Aaron is really good at taking blackmail photos.

 Super fun ski day!
