The marsh marigolds, Caltha Palustris, are up and growing in my backyard stream here in Shgagwei, Lkoot Kw'aan, Lingít Aaní.

I took a break in my Juneau errands yesterday to go look for my raven buddies. Moments after I got to our spot, they thunked in next to me and strutted up, so proud of themselves for finding me. They were both looking big, shiny, and healthy. 🙏❤️ Dzantik’i Heeni, Aak’w Kw’aan, Lingít Aaní.

Is this how the USA surrendered to Russia? This and the obscene ruckus in the White House today?

Stevens Pass skiing was good again today; Kidlet took lessons while my daughter Heather and I took Kiddo up the Daisy and Brooks lifts, working on technique. His turns are looking good now, controlled and smooth. Coast Salish territory.

I've been visiting my daughter Heather and the grandkids in Seattle this week. Today, we were skiing at Stevens Pass. Coast Salish territory.

She’s on the ferry Columbia to Juneau today. 😊

Yes. “People are doing things. You will meet them when YOU start doing things.” Lots of information and resources in this one. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Sunset 16:30 on the Pass tonight, Shgagwei, Lkoot Kwáan, Lingít Aaní.

Our raven buddies tagged along with us on our field day today; hanging out companionably when we'd pause. Look closely, they are both in this photo. Shgagwei, Lkoot Kwáan, Lingít Aaní.

This snow is covered with surface hoar, formed when the snow surface radiation cools on clear nights or cold days, so moisture in the air sublimates (goes directly from vapor to solid) onto the cooler snow surface, making sparkly feathery frost crystals.

We went inland and found good snow and calm winds today, Dahkhá Kwáan, Lingít Aaní. Will Tuttle telemarks.

My avalanche forecasts, and those for ski areas, industrial operations, and guiding companies, would be impossible without NWS products. Call your representatives! More in comments... www.cnn.com/2025/02/05/w...

Anthropogenic Global Warming, Landslides, & Avalanches 🧵 “The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that warming temperatures have destabilised mountain climates, leading to more avalanches, melting glaciers and more intense storms.” www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldvi...

I spent half the day on office work, then switched to kei truck projects. Did some motor work, then fitted this classic green tarp, covering loads and giving her the proper Japanese mountain farmer look. Shgagwei, Lkoot Kwáan, Lingít Aaní.

Excellent analysis of Musk’s illegal tampering.

The sun is not going behind the hill until 14:48 now, and I put the sunglasses back in my rucksack this week, as the days get longer. Shgagwei, Lkoot Kwáan, Lingít Aaní.

Here's how to do something about the oligarchical takeover and dismantling of our government: If you live in a town with local Congressional offices, drop in, invite your friends to join you. If not, call their nearest office.

Snow forest in sunshine, Shgagwei, Lkoot Kwáan, Lingít Aaní.

This evening on the White Pass, coming home from cross-country skiing at Log Cabin. It was cold and windy on the pass; calm and perfect temperature on the ski trails; gorgeous on both. Shgagwei, Lkoot Kwáan, Lingít Aaní.

Rimed trees at -18°C on the pass today, Shgagwei, Lkoot Kwáan, Lingít Aaní.

Thanks to his stupidly aggressive impulses and inability to respect boundaries, the Danes now regard us as more of a threat than North Korea. Thanks, Donald... bsky.app/profile/theg...

Snow processes: The trees on the pass are just caked with rime and rime-cemented snow this year. It's not our normal dry powdery snow; but instead a product of the high humidity from nonstop warm storms. Shgagwei, Lkoot Kwáan, Lingít Aaní.

Read, share, act.

Trump and his advisors are high on their own supply after getting away with so much in their first week. But they are going to regret this one. It’ll devastate red states that rely on this money for basic programs that keep people fed, clothed, alive. A huge unforced error politically and legally.

Where the Nazi salute came from. Speaking of criminal immigrants who should be deported, how about these guys first? bsky.app/profile/theg...

Perfect cross country ski conditions this evening, calm on the back trails despite screaming winds in the pass. Log Cabin, Dahkhá Kwáan, Lingít Aaní.

With FB now full-Maga, I decided I better grab an account here; seems next best until Free our Feeds gets a community-based, open-source network going. Photo: the kei truck on a lovely crisp evening on the way back from snowboarding at Mt Sima last week, in Shgagwei, Lkoot Kwaan, Lingít Aaní.
