Snow sucks. It's amazing how the temps can change within a few thousand feet of elevation. Easy to forget when it's nice and warm down in the canyon bottom. Brrrr! Snow sucks.

Amazing the difference cycling can make in/for someone's life. And yes, I'm very much a person. And not a person that is extremely proud of the land 'down south'. In fact, I'm a girl:) My nickname was given to me by my then 2-year-old niece - she couldn't say my name and it came out Woody. The name stuck. I added 'Incredible' because I thought it was funny! @AK Chick – Thanks so much for your vote! Amazing the difference cycling can make in/for someone’s life.

(note I know it isn't that deep, but it is deeper then you would want to be stuck in with only cycling cloths and 1 survival blanket) Just checked out the pic’s, and that is some “deep” snow that you would not want to get stuck in.

With the warmth of the sun and the light of the day it wasn't too bad. We were surprisingly close to the end of the trail and the beginning of the road.

Plus our summers are AWESOME with ALL the daylight so it totally makes up for dark winter days. :) I'm so happy I could get Wife#1 the signed socks! So worth it! Oh and woody is the commenter whose cousin is trying to win a contest. I don't think he's a car unless cars can talk. ;) Hey DavidH – well, I guess you kinda adapt to the darkness (headlamps) so that even though it’s annoying, you just deal with it.

I'm so happy it turned out well for your group considering how easily it could have gone incredibly wrong! Like others, I'd love to hear the bike recovery story! Please tell me you guys went there the next day at the crack of dawn to get your bikes! Thanks for sharing your great adventure. Mark (in Ottawa, Canada) Chris,

By December the sun goes down at 3:30 in the afternoon and comes up around 10 in the morning. Patience is an Alaskan staple! Our trouble with a Fatty Project is that it means we'll be opening the wallet, and Wife#1 already has "THE SOCKS" (thank you Sasha), @AK Chick If you are “..not the most patient person in the world” might I suggest another place than Alaska!
