This self-portrait showcases what it's like to stand inside a crack (crevasse) of a glacier. I'm standing over frozen water so you can't stand here in the summer. It was bitter cold winter day in Alaska when I spent a day exploring these magnificent features on Matanuska glacier.

ADMIRING THE BEAUTIFUL VIEWS UNDER THE MAGICAL NIGHT SKIES IN THE BACKCOUNTRY.

A foggy morning in a remote section of Alaska

A very cold morning in the backcountry of the Chugach mountains of Alaska on our backcountry ski trip

I watched the first light unfold high up in the alpine as the clouds came and went by me on a pass in the backcountry. Every now and then I would rejoice the sight so much I just had to run into the picture :)

My friend Chris gazing the northern light in the backcountry of Talkeetna Mountains.

The Alaskan forest in the colorful summer clothing

The endless spines of the Chugach / Kenai Mountains that only the best skiers will be able to ski

The majestic Denali and its surrounding peaks

My friend Steven lights up his headlamp in the night at a backcountry hut of Alaska

The aurora blasts in the alpine. We came here to look for some early season skiing. As you can tell, not much to be had ;)

An awesome night of the aurora that danced around the sky through the whole night in all colors but I liked this common green color over Raven glacier in the Chugach mountains of Alaska.

The green forest turning into the fall in September in Alaska

A solo trip to the back of Eklutna Lake by mountain bike in the snow turned out to be a very cold and lonely waiting game until the sun eventually rose over the mountains. I can't remember the last time I was this cold. Biking alone in the cold and dark backcountry was an interesting experience.

The crazy textures of the early season snowfall. Spot my wife and dog in the shot

WE SPENT THE NIGHT AT THE BACKCOUNTRY HUT AND WERE GREETED BY THE MOST AMAZING AURORA.

My friend Nick and his skis that never got used on this trip in the early season. Would have been a rocky skiing experience! Instead we enjoyed watching the aurora dancing throughout the night.

The white mountains that are calling for skiing. In fact, spot the tiny skiers in this picture.

Our ice climbing crew having a blast on a beautiful summer day at Matanuska glacier in Alaska. This was a scouting trip to find the location of our wedding ceremony on the glacier that we had a week later.

SKIING IN THESE VIEWS NEVER GETS OLD.
