Isn't the girdwood glacier climbing just up the mountain from the hotel. In fact I think they're not even above the high chair lift. Don't get me wrong, they have some nice pictures. Its just that I have gone skiing there since I was 5.
Well I was thinking about going up Downey Creek. From the pictures I've seen it looks like you could still walk across the bridge so I guess it doesn't matter one way or the other really other than it would be nice to know which side of the valley I'd be walkin up.
