Do you think that you get more than your fair share of snow each winter? Then you should try Yakutat, Alaska. As you can see from this photo taken at the Glacier Bear Lodge, that the market for
crushed ice is pretty slim. This Steelhead fisherman (and recreational beer drinker) has found one way to put the white stuff to good use. Some areas of Alaska get buried each winter. The
considerable snowpack in Yakutat closes off road access to one of the state's premier trout and salmon streams, the Situk. In order to accommodate his fishing clients in spring, the lodge owner had to
contract with a local construction firm to open the road with a D-9 Caterpillar bulldozer.
