The Worthington Glacier is a Thompson Pass staple. Only 15 short miles from our front door the glacier pours out of the high Chugach and down into Thompson Pass. In the summer it is a popular tourist spot but in the winter it is rarely visited except by the occasional skier.
Strong winds have filled in many of the crevasses but Robyn and I were prepared with ropes and harnesses anyhow should one of us break through a snow bridge. The snow was soft and the angle was prefect for Robyn to practice her turns. Plus, it was just freakin sweet to be hiking up a glacier in the middle of the pass on a beautiful sunny day. It was also the first time I had to try and take my insulin in the field and the -5 F temps made it all the more challenging! I was inspired to get a quick video of the afternoon put together so check it out below!
so sweet guys–hope we get to ride together when you two are in IDAHO! Valdez is SO beautiful!
Love it!
