Are you ready for cross-country skiing here in Alaska? If not, drop what you’re doing and head over to Alaska Mountaineering and Hiking. After all, skiing is a great way to travel, especially in Alaska!

Paul and the staff at AMH can outfit you with the right skis. Then, you need to get all waxed up–and they have the perfect supplies to keep you kicking and gliding all winter long. 

While you’re visiting AMH over on Spenard Rd. (near Chilkoot Charlie’s), buy your trails pin to help the grooming crew from the Anchorage Nordic Skiing Association. 

We’ll see you on the trails! Learn more online.

Tina has all kinds of goodies for travelers: bikinis, sarongs, beach-type coverups and so forth over at Mermaid Imports on W. Dimond Blvd. here in Anchorage.

But c’mon, functionality is one thing. Looking good is quite another. I stopped in to snap some picks of the fun stuff Tina has to ACCESSORIZE your outfit. As I said earlier, I cannot find ANYTHING in my color. But you ladies probably will have better luck! Check out this cool necklace Tina is holding. It’s beautiful.

Below, Tina holds a stunning TIbetan prayer box. “Sometimes the Tibetans will wear these around their necks,” she said. “That’s not the case with this one, since it’s a little heavy. There’s a lot of silver in it,” she added.

Mermaid Imports is located at 209 W. Dimond Blvd. in Anchorage, just across from Costco.

Namaste!
