Fall in Alaska: The season that teaches stillness

In Juneau, I wear many hats. In winter, I work ski patrol. In summer, I guide. Year-round, I freelance as a writer and photographer. I teach outdoor studies classes at the University of Alaska Southeast. I work part-time for Rivers Without Borders — a nonprofit focused on transboundary mining issues. I juggle my relationship, family and friends alongside snowboarding, hiking, climbing, surfing, biking, running and camping. I sprint from one thing to the next.

Juneau Mountain Rescue team uses its expertise in steep terrain to save lives

Juneau Mountain Rescue team members took a breath after summer’s end, the organization’s busiest time for search-and-rescue responses. With an approaching chilly fall weekend, volunteers still held their phones close, ready to deploy at a moment’s notice.

There was an average number of incidents this summer, but more fatalities than usual, according to operations chief Jackie Ebert. Five people died in Juneau’s backcountry, including the areas of Mount Roberts, Salmon Creek Dam, and near and on top of the Mendenhall Glacier.

University of Alaska Southeast students gather to watch sci-fi film starring campus handyman

A beloved maintenance employee at the University of Alaska Southeast starred in a low-budget sci-fi comedy a decade ago. This week, some UAS students screened “Space Trucker Bruce” to honor their friendly campus handyman, and to satisfy their own curiosity.

It’s about a space trucker hauling hog fat through the galaxy who picks up a hitchhiker whose ship has broken down. Hijinks ensue.
