The snow is almost all melted away, but today we are heading to Alyeska Ski Resort for some last bit of fun in the snow. It is located about an hour south of Anchorage, right around the town of Girdwood. The 34th Slush Festival is going on this weekend. There are all kinds of ski and snow activities though the reason we are headed up...the Idiot Swim Competion. Where people jump into the freezing water and swim!!! Yes keep your eye out for photos. I have uploaded one I found online from last year! Keep in mind these people are standing bare foot on snow and ice and everyone in the background are wearing jackets, gloves and hats!
