Ready...Set...GO!

Every year a cross-country team from Anchorage visits the bush villages and provides lessons and equipment for our kids. They stay for a week and the kids just LOVE it! Great fun.

Great shots Joan. Those children look so determined

Oh what fun! Our cross- country races are on foot! That looks like so much more fun.

must be very exciting for them. Looks a lovely day there

Great to see them having fun, and I imagine that this is a skill they can put to good use, living where they do.

the more kids move around, apparently, the more they learn when they're sitting.

@thistle @beachdog @tristansmum @francoise Thanks everyone! This glorious springtime weather makes this kind of exercise SO much fun for them! We spend the better part of the winter indoors because the temps are below -20F. When the weather warms up, and the light comes back, they are READY!!

A great opportunity and so different from what's on offer in the uk. Great shots. Looks fun

[Erica G.]

very nice shots in B&W

[Richard Sayer]

I particularly like the bottom shot Joan - there's so much action here and the skiers make a leading line that take us into the image. Excellent work.
