Global Financial Crisis, Recession, Depression, cut-backs, layoffs, retrenchment, unemployment, low dollar, strong Euro...there seems to be more and more reasons these days not to travel overseas and chase snow.

But just think about what you'll be missing by not heading overseas this year - all the pow, park and pipe you just can't get in the southern hemisphere. Like the Mastercard ad: priceless!

We arrived in Haines on the ferry from Juneau.  The 3 hour ferry ride over was amazing, when the peaks of Alaska finally started to break thru we knew we were in for a real treat. Haines is a tiny little in the middle of nowhere Alaska.

Once we got checked into the hotel we decided to head out to Mile 33 Road House and the Alaska Helisking operation run by Seandog. The drive from town was unreal; we saw huge moose, so many bald eagles they started to look like ordinary birds. This is a great way to get out of the hustle and bustle of city life.
