SEPTEMBER 2017 ALASKA BEYOND 45 Dragons in Chinese culture do not breathe fire or hoard treasure. Instead, they summon rain and represent good luck. At 180 feet long, the silk lantern dragon at the Vancouver Chinese Lantern Festival, Dec. 15 Jan. 21, 2018, is an event favorite. The festival, taking place on the Pacific National Exhibition grounds in Vancouver, British Columbia, celebrates Chinese culture and helps commemorate the end of the lunar year. The upcoming Lunar New Year is Feb. 16, By Danielle Centoni If Champagne is the elegant doyenne of the sparkling-wine world, pétillant naturel is the free-spirited wild child: carefree, a little unpredictable and eager to steal the spotlight. French for naturally sparkling, pétillant naturel is an age-old style made by bottling wine before it has finished fermenting, while traditional Champagnes complete an initial fermentation before they are bottled. As the yeasts continue to eat up the sugars, carbon dioxide bubbles form, get trapped and lie in wait until they re released into the glass. It s a technique so ancient it s known as méthode ancestrale. And this low-tech, no-fuss precursor to Champagne has found a new legion of fans among American wine lovers. They re just really fun to drink, says Brianne Day, winemaker at Day Wines in Dundee, Oregon.

Vancouver s festival includes 35 lanterns in shapes such as pandas and dragons, and placards explain the symbolism of each form.

Today, the Cactus League is a major annual sports and tourism experience, with 10 stadiums hosting 15 major league teams. Officials estimate the league generates more than $500 million in economic impact for Arizona. Taking place from late February through late March, the preseason features almost daily games between the teams. It s a chance for rookies to prove themselves and earn a roster spot, and for veteran players to regain their elite form.

As I enter Sloan Park for the game, it s clear that the crowd is made up of more than just die-hard baseball fans. Families are sitting on blankets and picnicking on the grassy berm that rings the outfield, noshing on snacks they brought with them or bought from the food trucks parked behind the stadium.

A short-tailed weasel, or ermine as they re called when their coats turn snow white for winter, had bounced back and forth across the trail, hunting. Prospects seemed good for the tiny predator (the average ermine weighs less than a pound), as here and there the tracks of voles and shrews, the ermine s prey, stitched across the snow. I d arrived early at the Glen Alps trailhead near Anchorage, keen on finding moose to photograph, but the day had immediately promised more.

Passing through a spruce thicket, I watched the moonlit breaks for snowshoe hares. Their namesake hind feet, long and broad like my own snowshoes, had left distinctive prints in the newly fallen powder.
