March is a pivot month in Alaska.   The weather starts to calm down and at some point you need to take the skis off your airplane, find your tires and get them on before it is time put on floats for the summer.   My timing could not have been better as Jim was taking his last flight of the season with skis and we did a quick loop up Knik Arm to Lake George and the Colony glacier headwall!   As this was my first experience landing on a frozen lake, it was a double treat.   We had the lake and glacier to ourselves, although the light conditions were not the best for photography, the headwall was impressive
