Skagway Alaska - The Buckwheat Ski Race - Cancelled

Climate change continues to impact those of us who live up North so much more than those Southern Canadian Vast Majority who hug the US Canada border.

This time... for perhaps the first time ever... the annual Buckwheat Cross Country Ski Race was cancelled because of melting trails.  In contrast... last March was mostly a balmy -30 degrees Celsius. Even last April saw a majority of the month at  -20 to -25.

We still enjoyed our annual long weekend in Skagway... enjoying warm walks in the sunshine...

And snowshoed to the more than slightly melted central trail snow fort that our Skagwegian American brethren carve for the race each year.
