Public Use Cabins and fun Curry Ridge Trail
Last January, some wonderful friends invited me at the last minute to stay at Byers Lake Cabin. It is just a few hours north of Wasilla and boast a wonderful get-a-way. The cabins are simple, rustic, and warm. We had a great time cooking and enjoying the starry night and ample classic skiing. A little video we recorded at the top of the ridge The next day, we ventured to our little treasure place called Kesugi Ken one of the newest campgrounds in the state. We were THRILLED to find out that they actually groomed the loop trails near the Hunter and Denali Cabins. However, we went up! We followed the Curry Ridge Trail that I have previously done in the summer, and enjoyed the skijoring with Willow the Great Dane. The views were spectacular. Denali was out is PERFECT glory! We did come across some wind at the top of the ridge. I also had a terrible time coming down because I used just regular classic skis and some backcountry skis would of done better on the decent.
