Business Up In Alaska

"Our business is definitely up over the last couple of winters," says Brett Crook, manager of Peter Glenn Ski & Sports. "We run a bus to Alyeska that picks up here and in Eagle River and couple of other locations. There's lots more people on the bus, which is great for business." The Anchorage snowfall record is 336.55 centimetres, set in the winter of 1955-56. "It's warmed up a bit in the last few days but there's still a ton of snow," says Crook. "I feel bad for people that walk or commute because the sidewalks are not as clear as they should be and there's lots of people walking on the road."
