Sledders kick up fun as powder piles up in Anchorage

Sledders took advantage of soft, fluffy, newly fallen snow on the hill at Russian Jack Springs Park on Thursday. The deep powder made for slow rides and soft landings, at least until the snow was packed down.

Russian Jack Springs is one of three parks that Anchorage Parks and Recreation designates for sledding. The others are Centennial Park and Kincaid Park. Conditions for snow-based fun should remain good in Anchorage, according to National Weather Service forecasts. Continued snowfall is possible for several more days.
